Abstract excerpt
In the crystal structure of chicken sulfite oxidase, the residue Tyr(322) (Tyr(343) in human sulfite oxidase) was found to directly interact with a bound sulfate molecule and was proposed to have an important role in mediating the substrate specificity and catalytic activity of this molybdoprotein. In order to understand the role of this residue in the catalytic mechanism of sulfite oxidase, steady-state and...
