Abstract

This thesis included my work on the crystallization, data analysis and phasing attempts regarding RcnR in complex with a ds-DNA molecule .RcnR is a transcription factor that regulates the homeostasis of cobalt and nickel in bacterial cells. We crystallized Escherichia coli RcnR with DNA that encompasses the DNA binding site. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.9 Å. The crystal belongs to space group P61/522, with unit cell parameters a = b = 73.65 Å, c= 153.77Å, α=β=90°, γ = 120°. The second and third part included my work on MauG and PqqB projects.
