Abstract excerpt
Copper amine oxidases (CuAOs) are metalloenzymes that reduce molecular oxygen to hydrogen peroxide during catalytic turnover of primary amines. In addition to Cu2+ in the active site, two peripheral calcium sites, ∼32 Å from the active site, have roles in Escherichia coli amine oxidase (ECAO). The buried Ca2+ (Asp533, Leu534, Asp535, Asp678, and Ala679) is essential for full-length protein production, while the...
