Observation of fast release of NO from ferrous d₁ haem allows formulation of a unified reaction mechanism for cytochrome cd₁ nitrite reductases.
Cytochrome cd1 nitrite reductase is a haem-containing enzyme responsible for the reduction of nitrite into NO, a key step in the anaerobic respiratory process of denitrification. The active site of cytochrome cd1 contains the unique d1 haem cofactor, from which NO must be released. In general, reduc...
