Abstract excerpt
MauG catalyzes posttranslational modifications of a methylamine dehydrogenase precursor (preMADH) to complete the biosynthesis of its protein-derived tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) cofactor. Trp199 is present at the site of interaction between MauG and preMADH and is critical to this process as it mediates hole hopping during the inter-protein electron transfer that is required for catalysis. Trp199 was...
