Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Paola Agnelli"
- Paola Agnelli's research primarily focuses on the structural and functional roles of iron-sulfur clusters in enzymes, specifically glutamate synthase found in *Azospirillum brasilense*.
- Her significant findings highlight the complexity of glutamate synthase, which is a flavoprotein containing multiple cofactors including FAD, FMN, and distinct iron-sulfur clusters, crucial for its enzymatic activity.
- Through site-directed mutagenesis, Agnelli's work uncovers the mechanistic pathways of ammonia transfer in glutamate synthase, providing insights into the enzyme's structure-function relationship and its catalytic mechanisms.
