A copper-nitrosyl intermediate forms during the catalytic cycle of nitrite reductase, the
enzyme that mediates the committed step in bacterial denitrification. The crystal structure of
a type 2 copper-nitrosyl complex of nitrite reductase reveals an unprecedented side-on
binding mode in which the nitrogen and oxygen atoms are nearly equidistant from the
copper cofactor. Comparison of this structure with a refined nitrite-bound crystal structure
explains how coordination can change between copper-oxygen and copper-nitrogen during …
