The nitric oxide reductase activity of cytochrome c nitrite reductase from Escherichia coli.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 11 Apr 2008

Abstract excerpt

Cytochrome c nitrite reductase (NrfA) from Escherichia coli has a well established role in the respiratory reduction of nitrite to ammonium. More recently the observation that anaerobically grown E. coli nrf mutants were more sensitive to NO. than the parent strain led to the proposal that NrfA might also participate in NO. detoxification. Here we describe protein film voltammetry that presents a quantitative...
