Abstract excerpt
A protein positive charge near the flavin N(1) locus is a distinguishing feature of most flavoprotein oxidases, with mechanistic implications for the modulation of flavin reactivity. A recent study showed that in the active site of choline oxidase the protein positive charge is provided by His(466). Here, we have reversed the charge by substitution with aspartate (CHO-H466D) and, for the first time, characterized...
