STRUCTURE OF THE OCTAMERIC FLAVOENZYME VANILLYL-ALCOHOL OXIDASE
OverviewOverview
BACKGROUND: Lignin degradation leads to the formation of a broad spectrum, of aromatic molecules that can be used by various fungal micro-organisms, as their sole source of carbon. When grown on phenolic compounds, Penicillium simplicissimum induces the strong impression of a, flavin-containing vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (VAO). The enzyme catalyses the, oxidation of a vast array of substrates, ranging from aromatic amines to, 4-alkyphenols. VAO is a member of a novel class of widely distributed, oxidoreductases, which use flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a cofactor, covalently bound to the protein. We have carried out the determination of, the structure of VAO in order to shed light on the most interesting, features of these novel oxidoreductases, such as the functional, significance of ...
