Abstract

Knowledge gap reduced. Although this enzyme is responsible for the two-electron reduction of nitric oxide to nitrous oxide, our knowledge of the sensitive, membrane-bound nitric oxide reductase is less than that of the other enzymes of the denitrification pathway. In this communication, we report the first successful direct electrochemical experiments to reveal relevant catalytic aspects of this interesting and important enzyme.
