Abstract excerpt
Monomeric sarcosine oxidase (MSOX) is a prototypical member of a recently recognized family of amine-oxidizing enzymes that all contain covalently bound flavin. Mutation of the covalent flavin attachment site in MSOX produces a catalytically inactive apoprotein (apoCys315Ala) that forms an unstable complex with FAD (K(d) = 100 muM), similar to that observed with wild-type apoMSOX where the complex is formed as an...
