Abstract excerpt
The isoalloxazine ring system of the FAD cofactor of p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase must be secluded from solvent at specific stages of catalysis in order to form and stabilize a flavin C4a-hydroperoxide. This species may then react with the activated phenolate of p-hydroxybenzoate. A number of crystal structures of the enzyme with alterations to active site substituents or complexes with analogue benzoates have...
