A QM/MM Study of Nitrite Binding Modes in a Three-Domain Heme-Cu Nitrite Reductase
Copper-containing nitrite reductases (CuNiRs) play a key role in the global nitrogen cycle by reducing nitrite (NO<sub>2</sub><sup>−</sup>) to nitric oxide, a reaction that involves one electron and two protons. In typical two-domain CuNiRs, the electron is acquired from an e...
