Rotary ATPases--dynamic molecular machines.

Recent work has provided the detailed overall architecture and subunit composition of three subtypes of rotary ATPases. Composite models of F-type, V-type and A-type ATPases have been constructed by fitting high-resolution X-ray structures of individual components into electron microscopy derived envelopes of the intact enzymes. Electron cryo-tomography has provided new insights into the supra-molecular arrangement of eukaryotic ATP synthases within mitochondria.

The X-ray crystal structure of a pseudoazurin from Sinorhizobium meliloti.

The X-ray crystal structure of oxidised pseudoazurin from the denitrifying plant symbiotic bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti (SmPAz2) has been solved to a resolution of 2.0 Å. The pseudoazurin from Sinorhizobium sp.
