title: The enigma of Paracoccus pantotrophus cytochrome cd(1) activation.
abstract: Paracoccus pantotrophus cytochrome cd(1) nitrite reductase is isolated under aerobic conditions from anaerobically grown cells in an inactive form. This state requires reductive activation to make it catalytically competent for nitrite reduction. In this work, we discuss the methods of this reductive activation and its consequences for the cell.
