Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in a wide range of
physiological and pathological events in biology. Metal coordination chemistry, especially …

The broad range of cellular activities carried out by Fe–S proteins means that they have a
central role in the life of most organisms. At the interface between biology and chemistry …

Building iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters and assembling Fe-S proteins are essential actions for
life on Earth. The three processes that sustain life, photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and …

The spread of antibiotic resistance represents a global threat to public health, and has been
traditionally attributed to extensive antibiotic uses in clinical and agricultural applications. As …

SUMMARY Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are required for critical biochemical pathways,
including respiration, photosynthesis, and nitrogen fixation. Assembly of these iron cofactors …

The transcription factor FNR, the regulator of fumarate and nitrate reduction, regulates major
changes as Escherichia coli adapts from aerobic to anaerobic growth. In an anaerobic …

Staphylococcus aureus is a highly virulent human pathogen with an extensive array of
strategies to subvert the innate immune response. An important aspect of innate immunity is …

Under a shortage of oxygen, bacterial growth can be faced mainly by two ATP-generating
mechanisms:(i) by synthesis of specific high-affinity terminal oxidases that allow bacteria to …

Nitric oxide has attracted considerable interest from plant pathologists due its established
role in regulating mammalian anti-microbial defences, particularly via programmed cell …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an intermediate of the respiratory pathway known as denitrification, and
is a by-product of anaerobic nitrite respiration in the enteric Bacteria. Pathogens are also …
