摘要: Fumarate reductases and succinate dehydrogenases play central roles in the metabolism of eukaryotic prokaryotic cells. A recent medium resolution structure Escherichia coli fumarate reductase (Frd) has revealed overall organization membrane-bound complex. Here we present first high X-ray crystal a water-soluble bacterial an open conformation. This reveals mobile domain that modulates substrate access to active site provides new insights into mechanism this widespread important family FAD-containing respiratory proteins.
