Environmental and Genetic Rhythm Governing the Production of Methanobactin
Krentz, Benjamin (2012-04)Methanobactin is a peptide-derived, copper-binding molecule that is produced by methanotrophic bacteria. Methanobactins scavenge and reduce copper (II) ions to provide copper as an enzymatic co-factor for particulate methane ... -
Getting COSY with Methanobactin : NMR chromopeptide characterization
Behling, Lee A.; Scardino, Lori L.; Rao, Vinay B. (2007-05-01)Methanobactin (mb) is a chalkophore produced by Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b. This non-ribosomal chromopeptide is a part of the copper acquisition system of these methane oxidizing bacteria. We have obtained NMR spectra ... -
Investigating the Possible Isomeric Forms of Methanobactin-SB2
Gallagher, Warren H.; Toycen, Kaitlin; Matheka, Faith (2017-04-17)The purpose of this study was to investigate methanobactins (mb), which are peptide-derived molecules produced by bacteria called methanotrophs. -
Metal Reduction by Methobactins
Swanson, Teresa; Casper, Elisabeth; Chesner, Lisa (2010-04)Methanobactins (mb) are copper-binding peptides or chalkophores secreted by methanotrophs to scavenge copper ions from the environment. A unique feature of these molecules is their ability to reduce and stabilize copper ... -
Purification of Copper-Free Methanobactin-SB2 to Analyze its Shape-Shifting Behavior
Matheka, Faith; Toycen, Kaitlin (2015-04)We are interested in isolating the copper-free forms of methanobactin, which presents a challenge, since they are much more unstable and difficult to characterize than the copper bound forms that we and others have worked ... -
Structural characterization of Methanobactin using NMR and mass spectroscopy reveals a new chemical structure.
Behling, Lee A. (2008-08-26)Methanobactin ia a small copper-sequestering molecule produced by the bacteria Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b. This research employed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy to elucidate the structure of ... -
Structure of Methanobactin SB2 May Help Define a Whole New Class of Peptide-derived Metal-binding Molecules
Krentz, Benjamin (2010-04)Methanobactins are peptide-derived, copper-binding molecules produced by mathanotrophic bacteria that use methane as their primary source of carbon and energy. They synthesize methanobactin to scavenge copper ions from the ... -
Unraveling the Mysteries of How Methanobactin Reduces and Stabilizes Copper Ions
Harder, James; Mulheron, Heidi (2010-04)Methanobactins (mb) are peptide-derived, copper-binding molecules produced by methanotrophic bacteria, which use methane as their primary source of carbon and energy. They synthesize mb to scavenge copper ions from the ...
