1.1.3.38 | metabolism |
tyrosine residues Tyr-108 and Tyr-503 are positioned to facilitate deprotonation of substrate's phenol groups. The reduction of VAOA by chavicol or vanillyl alcohol occurs at two different rates: kobs1, which corresponds to its reaction with the deprotonated form of the substrate, and kobs2, which corresponds to its reaction with the protonated form of the substrate. In mutants Y108F, Y503F, and Y108F/Y503F, the relative contribution of kobs2 to the reduction is larger than in wild-type VAOA |
