Fingerprinting redox and ligand states in haemprotein crystal structures using resonance Raman spectroscopy

High-resolution X-ray crystallography has been effectively combined with resonance Raman spectroscopy to `fingerprint' and validate different redox and ligand states in structures of Alcaligenes xylosoxidans cytochrome c'.

A novel β-xylosidase structure from Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius: the first crystal structure of a glycoside hydrolase family GH52 enzyme reveals unpredicted similarity to other glycoside hydrolase folds

The first structure of a CAZy glycoside hydrolase family 52 enzyme, that of G. thermoglucosidasius β-xylosidase, reveals structural similarities to other families with which it shares less than 13% sequence identity. The substrate-bound complex confirms the active-site residues and is consistent with a retaining mechanism.
