Abstract excerpt
The recently discovered fructosyl peptide oxidase from Phaeosphaeria nodorum (PnFPOX) was demonstrated to react with the glycated hexapeptide measurement standard of hemoglobin A1c, fVHLTPE. The highly reactive Coniochaeta FPOX (FPOX-C) showed no detectable activity with the hexapeptide. Two loop regions were identified as having important effects on the enzymatic properties of FPOX. The first loop has a strong...
