Abstract excerpt
Tyramine β-monooxygenase (TβM), the insect homologue of dopamine β-monooxygenase, is a neuroregulatory enzyme that catalyzes the β-hydroxylation of tyramine to yield octopamine. Mutation of the methionine (Met) ligand to Cu(M) of TβM, Met471Cys, yielded a form of TβM that is catalytically active but susceptible to inactivation during turnover [Hess, C.
