Abstract excerpt
The anaerobic global regulator FNR from Escherichia coli is a [4Fe-4S](2+) cluster containing, O(2) labile dimer that plays an important role in adapting the bacterium to its anaerobic lifestyle. Although functional significance of this global regulator has been well established, its structural and biochemical characterizations have been hindered by the intrinsic O(2) lability of FNR protein. To obtain oxygen...
