Flipped regiospecificity in L434F mutant of 8-lipoxygenase.

Abstract excerpt

Lipoxygenases are non-heme iron containing enzymes that catalyze oxygenation of poly-unsaturated fatty acids in different animal and plant species with extremely high regio- and stereospecificity. Nature employs 8-lipoxygenase to produce 8R-hydroperoxide from the oxygenation of arachidonic acid. A single-point L434F mutation of 8-lipoxygenase alters the regio- and stereospecificity of the final products, with a...
