| Abstract | Flavocytochrome b2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae catalyzes the oxidation of L-lactate to pyruvate and the electron transfer to cytochrome c in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. It is a homotetramer with a molecular weight of 4 x 58 kDa, each monomer of which is composed of 2 distinct domains, the one carrying FMN and the other, a 'b5-like' heme. The native structure has been described at a resolution of 2.4 A (Xia ZX, Mathews FS, 1990, J Mol Biol 212:837-863). The heme domains protrude from the central body of the tetramer consisting of the 4 FMN binding domains. Because only 2 heme domains are visible in the electron density map, the other 2 are probably disordered. We crystallized the Escherichia coli recombinant flavocytochrome b2 from S. cerevisiae inhibited by sulfite. Although the crystals were obtained under very different conditions from those of the pyruvate-containing native enzyme, they were found to be isostructural (P 3(2) 2 1, a = b = 164.5 A, c = 114.0 A). The 2.6-A X-ray structure was extensively refined with X-PLOR (R = 17.3%), which made it possible to describe in detail the recombinant flavocytochrome b2 molecular structure. There exist few differences between the native and recombinant structures, in line with the fact that they show similar kinetic behavior, and they further confirm the intrinsic mobility of the heme domain (Labeyrie F, Beloil JC, Thomas MA, 1988, Biochim Biophys Acta 953:134-141). This structure will be used as a starting model in the structural resolution of flavocytochrome b2 point mutants. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
