Abstract excerpt
The reaction of alcohol oxidation catalyzed by choline oxidase was previously shown to occur through the tunneling of a hydride ion from the alpha-carbon of an activated alkoxide species to the N(5) atom of FAD within a highly preorganized enzyme-substrate complex [G. Gadda, Biochemistry 47 (2008) 13745-13753]. In the present study, a glutamate residue (312) that participates in substrate binding has been...
