Fast cytochrome bo from Escherichia coli binds two molecules of nitric oxide at CuB.

abstract：:Previously we showed that the low-molecular-weight mucin (MG2, encoded by MUC7), a major component of human submandibular/sublingual saliva, is a bacterial receptor that coats the tooth surface. Here we tested the hypothesis that the structure of its carbohydrate residues contains important information about its funct...
