Abstract excerpt
Galactose oxidase is a copper metalloenzyme containing a novel protein-derived redox cofactor in its active site, formed by cross-linking two residues, Cys228 and Tyr272. Previous studies have shown that formation of the tyrosyl-cysteine (Tyr-Cys) cofactor is a self-processing step requiring only copper and dioxygen. We have investigated the biogenesis of cofactor-containing galactose oxidase from pregalactose...
