Quotes

...Eric Merkley, lead author of a paper that appeared in the Journal of Proteome Research. "A shared feature of these studies is that the cytochrome-rich fractions, the cell envelope or extracellular polymeric substance, were purified and explicitly analyzed to efficiently detect cytochromes. Analyses of large-scale proteomics datasets have typically suggested that c-type cytochromes, particularly the heme c peptides, are under-represented."

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Three-dimensional structure of CspE of E ludwigii PAS1 divulge the presence of five antiparallel beta-sheets forming a beta-barrel structure with surface exposed aromatic and basic residues that were responsible for nucleic acid binding and also reveals the presence of highly conserved nucleic acid-binding motifs RNP1 and RNP2 in Csp family."
