Abstract excerpt
The flavoenzyme DAAO from Rhodotorula gracilis, a structural paradigm of the glutathione-reductase family of flavoproteins, is a stable homodimer with a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) molecule tightly bound to each 40-kD subunit. In this work, the thermal unfolding of dimeric DAAO was compared with that of two monomeric forms of the same protein: a Deltaloop mutant, in which 14 residues belonging to a loop...
