  • Biological X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and metalloproteomics.
    Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, 2009
    Co-Authors: Isabella Ascone, Richard W. Strange
    Abstract:

    : In the past seven years the size of the known protein sequence universe has been rapidly expanding. At present, more then five million entries are included in the UniProtKB/TrEMBL protein database. In this context, a retrospective evaluation of recent X-ray Absorption studies is undertaken to assess its potential role in metalloproteomics. Metalloproteomics is the structural and functional characterization of metal-binding proteins. This is a new area of active research which has particular relevance to biology and for which X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy is ideally suited. In the last three years, biological X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (BioXAS) has been included among the techniques used in post-genomics initiatives for metalloprotein characterization. The emphasis of this review is on the progress in BioXAS that has emerged from recent meetings in 2007-2008. Developments required to enable BioXAS studies to better contribute to metalloproteomics throughput are also discussed. Overall, this paper suggests that X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy could have a higher impact on metalloproteomics, contributing significantly to the understanding of metal site structures and of reaction mechanisms for metalloproteins.

  • Metallogenomics and biological X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy
    Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, 2004
    Co-Authors: Isabella Ascone, Roger Fourme, S. Samar Hasnain, Keith O Hodgson
    Abstract:

    An overview of the second special issue of the journal on biological applications of X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (BioXAS) is presented. The emphasis is on the study of metalloproteins in the context of structural genomics programmes (metallo­genomics).
