Near-atomic resolution neutron crystallography on perdeuterated Pyrococcus furiosus rubredoxin: implication of hydronium ions and protonation state equilibria in redox changes.
Neutron crystallographic analyses at near-atomic resolution are presented for
both reduced and oxidized forms of perdeuterated Pyrococcus furiosus rubredoxin,
a small iron-sulfur redox protein with remarkable thermostability. Hydronium
ions may play a key role in the protonation and charge-transfer processes
associated with the oxidized and reduced forms of the protein. Picture: overall
structure showing D(3) O(+) ions (red and gray molecules).
