Abstract excerpt
Assimilatory NADH:nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1), a complex Mo-pterin-, cytochrome b557-, and FAD-containing protein, catalyzes the regulated and rate-limiting step in the utilization of inorganic nitrogen by high plants. With a recombinant, histidine-tagged form of the spinach nitrate reductase flavin domain, site-directed mutagenesis has been utilized to examine the role of lysine 741 in binding the reducing...
