You may ask: “why study ancient enzymes? Who cares what life looked like 3 billion years ago?”
Because evolution may hold answers to problems we still struggle with, and it can guide our efforts.
New paper from our lab! 🧵

Mind-blowing to see not one but two atoms of the best metal (Cu) in the nitrogenase-like BchNB.
Our story detailing how asymmetry in nitrogenase-like proteins regulate electron transfer reactions is finally out! rdcu.be/ejaeK Congratulations to postdoc @rajnandani.bsky.social and fantastic collaborators. Thanks to funding from the Department of Energy and the NIH.
Cryo-EM captures the coordination of asymmetric electron transfer through a di-copper site in DPOR
Nature Communications - CryoEM snapshots of the nitrogenase-like DPOR protein complex captured during turnover reveal that asymmetric conformational changes, substrate recognition, and an interplay...
