Abstract excerpt
The phosphomimetic mutation S82D in the cancer-associated, FAD-dependent human NADP(H):quinone oxidoreductase 1 (hNQO1) causes a decrease in flavin-adenine dinucleotide-binding affinity and intracellular stability. We test in this work whether the evolutionarily recent neutral mutation R80H in the vicinity of S82 may alter the strong functional effects of S82 phosphorylation through electrostatic interactions. We...
