Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) reductase is a trimeric enzyme with a catalytic dimer (DmsAB) and an integral membrane anchor (DmsC). Using site-directed mutagenesis, we examined six residues in the periplasmic loop between helices two and three, potentially involved in menaquinol binding in DmsC. Mutants were characterised for growth, enzyme expression and activity, and 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxoquinoline...
