Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus depend on its ability to acquire nutrients. One essential nutrient is iron, which is obtained from the heme of the human host hemoglobin (Hb) through a protein machinery called Iron-regulated Surface Determinant (Isd). IsdB is the protein in charge of heme extraction from Hb, which is the first step of the chain of events leading to iron transfer to the bacterium cell interior. In order to elucidate the molecular events leading from the formation of the initial IsdB:Hb complex to heme extraction, we have performed a time-resolved X-ray solution scattering (TR-XSS) investigation combined with a rapid mixing triggering approach. We succeeded in defining the stoichiometry of IsdB:Hb binding and in describing the kinetics of the subsequent structural changes. The presented approach is potentially applicable to unveil the complex kinetic pathways generated by protein-protein interaction in different biological systems.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
