Project Details
Key findings
The octaheme protein from Shewanella oneidensis is a tetrathionate reductase apparently involved in anaerobic respiration. We probed the roles of active site residues using site-directed mutagenesis along with kinetic analysis, crystallographic structure determination and spectroscopy to show the key role of Cys64 in substrate binding and catalysis, including covalent modification of the cysteine.
