Abstract excerpt
Enzymes are potent catalysts that increase biochemical reaction rates by several orders of magnitude. Flavoproteins are a class of enzymes whose classification relies on their ability to react with molecular oxygen (O2) during catalysis using ionizable active site residues. Pseudomonas aeruginosa D-arginine dehydrogenase (PaDADH) is a flavoprotein that oxidizes D-arginine for P. aeruginosa survival and biofilm...
