Discovering the electronic circuit diagram of life: structural relationships among transition metal binding sites in oxidoreductases

Oxidoreductases play a central role in catalysing enzymatic electron-transfer reactions across the tree of life. To first order, the equilibrium thermodynamic properties of these proteins are governed by protein folds associated with specific transition metals and ligands at the active site. A globa...
