Abstract excerpt
We report here a novel mutation in the cytochrome b5 reductase gene resulting in type I methemoglobinemia. A single T->C transition in exon 8 at position 25985 was identified, changing codon 217 from Leu to Pro (L217P). The mutation is located in the NADH binding domain at the base of alpha-helix Nalpha3, a region of sequence highly conserved from yeast to man. A quantitative assessment of the thermodynamic cost...
