Structural and Functional Characterization of Cyanoglobin: A Peripheral Membrane Hemoglobin in Nostoc commune UTEX 584 (Cyanobacteria)

Investigations of the nitrogen fixing (nif) genes in the cyanobacterium Nostoc commune UTEX 584 revealed a gene encoding a hemoprotein, named cyanoglobin. The cyanoglobin gene was isolated and subcloned into Escherichia coli previously. Cyanoglobin possesses a high oxygen affinity. The study pres...
