Abstract excerpt
The flavin reductase of the alkanesulfonate monooxygenase system (SsuE) contains a conserved π-helix located at the tetramer interface that originates from the insertion of Tyr118 into helix α4 of SsuE. Although the presence of π-helices provides an evolutionary gain of function, the defined role of these discrete secondary structures remains largely unexplored. The Tyr118 residue that generated the π-helix in...
