Abstract excerpt
Aldose reductase enfolds NADP+/NADPH via a complex loop mechanism, with cofactor exchange being the rate-limiting step for the overall reaction. This study measures the binding constants of these cofactors in the wild-type enzyme, as well as a variety of active-site mutants (C298A, Y48H, Y48F, Y209F, H110A, W219A, and W20A), and seeks to identify the binding site and mechanism of the aldose reductase inhibitor...
