Abstract excerpt
Human cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) catalyzes a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent beta-replacement reaction to synthesize cystathionine from serine and homocysteine. The enzyme is unique in bearing not only a catalytically important PLP but also heme. In order to study a regulatory process mediated by heme, we performed mutagenesis of Arg-51 and Arg-224, which have hydrogen-bonding interactions with...
