Megasphaera elsdenii and Clostridium MP flavodoxins have been investigated by photo-CIDNP techniques. Using time-resolved spectroscopy and external dyes carrying different charges it was possible to assign unambiguously the resonance lines in the NMR-spectra to tyrosine, tryptophan and methionine residues in the two proteins. The results show that Trp-91 in M.elsdenii and Trp-90 in Cl.MP flavodoxin are strongly immobilized and placed directly above the benzene subnucleus of the prosthetic group. The data further indicate that the active sites of the two flavodoxins are extremely similar.

D003013 Clostridium A genus of motile or nonmotile gram-positive bacteria of the family Clostridiaceae. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. They occur in water, soil, and in the intestinal tract of humans and lower animals.
D005418 Flavodoxin A low-molecular-weight (16,000) iron-free flavoprotein containing one molecule of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and isolated from bacteria grown on an iron-deficient medium. It can replace ferredoxin in all the electron-transfer functions in which the latter is known to serve in bacterial cells.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species. Species Specificities,Specificities, Species,Specificity, Species
D045854 Veillonellaceae A family of gram-negative bacteria, in the phylum FIRMICUTES. Acidaminococcaceae
