Redox Properties of Flavin in BLUF and LOV Photoreceptor Proteins from Hybrid QM/MM Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Flavins play an important role in many oxidation and reduction processes in biological systems. For example, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) are common cofactors found in enzymatic proteins that use the special redox prope ...

RdhC, a family of membrane-bound flavoproteins involved in electron transfer in organohalide respiration ?

Julien Maillard, Romain Hamelin, Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin, Géraldine Florence Buttet

Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial energy metabolism making use of halogenated compounds – like tetrachloroethene (PCE), a major pollutant – as terminal electron acceptors. Three models of electron transport chain exist for OHR [1], however many ...

The membrane-bound C subunit of reductive dehalogenases: topology analysis and reconstitution of the FMN-binding domain of PceC

Julien Maillard, Romain Hamelin, Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin, Géraldine Florence Buttet, Aamani Rupakula Boyanapalli

Organohalide respiration (OHR) is the energy metabolism of anaerobic bacteria able to use halogenated organic compounds as terminal electron acceptors. While the terminal enzymes in OHR, so-called reductive dehalogenases, are well-characterized, the identi ...

Development of new strategies to produce and characterize PceC, a membrane-bound flavoprotein involved in organohalide respiration

Christof Holliger, Lorenzo Cimmino

Halogenated organic compounds (so-called organohalides) represent one of the major widespread groundwater pollutants. Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic process in which chlorinated compound, e.g. tetrachloroethene (PCE), is used as te ...
