Abstract excerpt
Monomeric sarcosine oxidase (MSOX) catalyzes the oxidation of N-methylglycine and contains covalently bound FAD that is hydrogen bonded at position N(5) to Lys265 via a bridging water. Lys265 is absent in the homologous but oxygen-unreactive FAD site in heterotetrameric sarcosine oxidase. Isolated preparations of Lys265 mutants contain little or no flavin but can be covalently reconstituted with FAD. Mutation of...
