Determination of the atomic resolution structure of a DNA Polymerase I isolated from Rhodothermus marinus

The inner workings of the DNA copying nanomachine : kinetic studies of DNA polymerase I from the thermophilic bacterium Rhodothermus marinus

A novel type of monoheme cytochrome c: biochemical and structural characterization at 1.23 A resolution of rhodothermus marinus cytochrome c.

Monoheme cytochromes of the C-type are involved in a large number of electron transfer processes, which play an essential role in multiple pathways, such as respiratory chains, either aerobic or anaerobic, and the photosynthetic electron transport chains. This study reports the biochemical characterization and the crystallographic structure, at 1.23 A resolution, of a monoheme cytochrome c from...

Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of the iron-sulfur centers from complex I of Rhodothermus marinus.

Rhodothermus marinus, a thermohalophilic gram negative bacterium, contains a type I NADH/quinone oxidoreductase (complex I). Its purification was optimized, yielding large amounts of pure and active protein. Furthermore, the stoichiometry of NADH oxidation and quinone reduction was shown to be 1:1. The large amounts of protein enabled a thorough characterization by electron paramagnetic resonan...

Complete genome sequence of Rhodothermus marinus type strain (R-10T)

Rhodothermus marinus Alfredsson et al. 1995 is the type species of the genus and is of phylogenetic interest because the Rhodothermaceae represent the deepest lineage in the phylum Bacteroidetes. R. marinus R-10(T) is a Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterium isolated from marine hot springs off the coast of Iceland. Strain R-10(T) is strictly aerobic and requires slightly haloph...

An investigation of neutron direct damages at energies of 0.1-2 MeV on the DNA molecules with atomic structure deduced using Geant4 toolkit

This study proposes a method to estimate RBE of fast neutrons using Monte Carlo simulations. This approach is based on the combination of an atomic resolution DNA geometrical model and Monte Carlo simulations for tracking particles. Atomic positions were extracted from the Protein Data Bank. The GEANT4 code was used for tracking the secondary particles generated by fast neutrons during their in...
