Abstract excerpt
Lactate monooxygenase (LMO) catalyzes the conversion of L-lactate to acetate, CO(2), and water with the incorporation of molecular oxygen. Arginine 187 of LMO is highly conserved within the family of L-alpha-hydroxyacid oxidizing enzymes (Lê, K. H. D., and Lederer, F. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 20877-20881). By comparison with the equivalent residue in flavocytochrome b(2) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Pike, A....
