Abstract

Nitrate reductases are molybdenum cofactor (Moco)-containing enzymes that reduce nitrate to nitrite, the first step in assimilatory and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia, and in denitrification. Nitrate reductases are divided into four groups; this review will focus on periplasmic nitrate reductase (Nap), discussing the available structures of NapA in the context of other members of the DMSO reductase family. The mechanism and the roles of a specific amino acid residue are also discussed.

质周硝酸盐还原酶的结构与功能。

硝酸还原酶是含钼辅助因子（Moco）的酶，它将硝酸盐还原为亚硝酸盐，这是同化和异化硝酸盐还原为氨和反硝化的第一步。硝酸还原酶分为四类；本文将重点介绍外质硝酸还原酶（Nap），并在DMSO还原酶家族其他成员的背景下讨论NapA的可用结构。并讨论了特定氨基酸残基的作用机理。
