Cytochrome <i>c</i> nitrite reductase: from structural to physicochemical analysis

Abstract

The recent structural characterization of the NrfA from Escherichia coli provides a framework to rationalize the spectroscopic and functional properties of this enzyme. Analyses by EPR and magnetic CD spectroscopies have been complemented by protein-film voltammetry and these are discussed in relation to the essential structural features of the enzyme.
