Abstract excerpt
Congenital hypothyroidism can result from mutations in human iodotyrosine deiodinase (hIYD), which catalyzes the deiodination of iodotyrosines (I-Tyr), a key step in thyroid hormone synthesis. Three homozygous mutations (R101W, F105-I106L, and I116T) are known causes of hypothyroidism. This computational study reveals that of the two loop I mutations in the flavin-binding domain (R101W and F105-I106L), F105-I106L...
