Abstract excerpt
The usefulness in structure/function studies of molybdenum-containing hydroxylases in work with rosy mutant strains of Drosophila melanogaster has been investigated. At least 23 such strains are available, each corresponding to a single known amino acid change in the xanthine dehydrogenase sequence. Sequence comparisons permit identification, with some certainty, of regions associated with the iron-sulphur...
