Investigating the ferric ion binding site of magnetite biomineralisation protein Mms6.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2020

Rawlings Andrea E, Liravi Panah, Corbett Sybilla, Holehouse Alex S, Staniland Sarah S

Abstract excerpt

The biomineralization protein Mms6 has been shown to be a major player in the formation of magnetic nanoparticles both within the magnetosomes of magnetotactic bacteria and as an additive in synthetic magnetite precipitation assays. Previous studies have highlighted the ferric iron binding capability of the protein and this activity is thought to be crucial to its mineralizing properties. To understand how this...
