Abstract excerpt
The flavoprotein choline oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of choline to glycine betaine with transient formation of an aldehyde intermediate and molecular oxygen as final electron acceptor. The enzyme has been grouped in the glucose-methanol-choline oxidoreductase enzyme superfamily, which shares a highly conserved His-Asn catalytic pair in the active site. In this study, the conserved asparagine residue at...
