Structure and activity of particulate methane monooxygenase arrays in methanotrophs

Particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) is the main enzyme used by methanotrophs. Here, the authors determined the native structure of pMMO by cryo-electron tomography, revealing lipid-stabilized features and a higher-order hexagonal array arrangement in intact cells.
