These cofactors, or coenzymes, provide additional functionality that extends considerably the scope of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Some cofactors (including the iron-porphyrin prosthetic groups of ...

Reactions analogous to flavin oxygenation have been proposed for enzymes catalyzing the cofactor-independent oxygenation of, for example, urate, 3-hydroxy-4-(1H)quinolones, p-hydroquinone ...

The researchers used site-specific mutagenesis to gain new insights into how the cofactor precursor is integrated into the enzyme and how individual amino acids are involved in anchoring and ...
