Biochemical Characterization of the Copper Nitrite Reductase from <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>

The copper-containing nitrite reductase from <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> has been shown to play a critical role in the infection mechanism of this microorganism by producing NO and abolishing epithelial exfoliation. This enzyme is a trimer with a type 1 copper center per subunit and a t...
