Abstract: The objective of the project was to establish the profile (or profiles) of the enzyme nitric oxide reductase (nor) since the profiles currently available are not adequate, and obtaining profiles with discriminant capacity would allow generating new knowledge to identify the enzyme in genomes already sequenced or in sequences obtained de novo, obtain new bacterial strains with interesting properties for use in agriculture and the environment, or for biodiversity studies, which will lead to new knowledge in relation to N2O, and will allow the scientific community to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of denitrification, which will ultimately allow the development of viable strategies to reduce N2O emissions. The approach and methodology proposed in this project to meet the objectives of the project is based on the work done by Udaondo et al. and these are based on taking advantage of the large amount of existing available information (sequences) to establish the profile of the enzyme through the construction or elaboration of generalized PROSITE profiles. Three types of nor (cNOR, vNOR, qNOR+qCuNOR) were observed in the phylogenetic tree, which correspond to the literature. It was observed that the generalized profiles obtained for each class of nor had the ability to identify and discriminate between nor types in the genome of an organism and also identify the protein in unannotated sequence databases. However, it was not possible to However, a more comprehensive validation could not be performed and further work is considered necessary in the future.
