Abstract excerpt
Modification of cysteine (Cys) residues inactivates monoamine oxidases (MAO) yet the crystal structure shows no conserved cysteines in the active site of MAO A (Ma, J. et al. J. Mol. Biol.2004, 338, 103-114). MAO A cysteine 374 was mutated to alanine and the purified enzyme characterized kinetica...
