Abstract excerpt
Porcine NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase catalytic domain (Pb5R) has the RXY(T/S)+(T/S) flavin-binding motif that is highly conserved among the structurally related family of flavoprotein reductases. Mutations were introduced that alter the Arg(63), Tyr(65), and Ser(99) residues within this motif. The mutation of Tyr(65) to either alanine or phenylalanine destabilized the protein, produced an accelerated release of...
