Lack of Specificity in <i>Geobacter</i> Periplasmic Electron Transfer
Sol Choi, Chi Ho Chan, Daniel R. Bond
Abstract
Many inner and outer membrane cytochromes used by Geobacter for electron transfer to extracellular acceptors have specific functions. How these are connected by periplasmic carriers remains poorly understood. G. sulfurreducens contains multiple triheme periplasmic cytochromes with unique biochemical properties and expression profiles.
