Abstract excerpt
Human methionine synthase reductase (MSR) is a protein containing both FAD and FMN, and it reactivates methionine synthase that has lost activity due to oxidation of cob(I)alamin to cob(II)alamin. In this study, anaerobic redox titrations were employed to determine the midpoint reduction potentials for the flavin cofactors in two highly prevalent polymorphic variants of MSR, I22/L175 and M22/S175. The latter is a...
