CorA is a copper repressible surface-associated copper(I)-binding protein produced in Methylomicrobium album BG8.
CorA is a copper repressible protein previously identified in the methanotrophic bacterium Methylomicrobium album BG8. In this work, we demonstrate that CorA is located on the cell surface and binds one copper ion per protein molecule, which, based on X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure analysis, i...
