Abstract excerpt
A single mutation within a flavoprotein is capable of switching the catalytic activity of a dehalogenase into a nitroreductase. This change in function correlates with a destabilization of the one-electron-reduced flavin semiquinone that is differentially expressed in the nitro-FMN reductase superfamily during redox cycling. The diversity of function within such a superfamily therefore has the potential to arise...
