1.13.12.4 G99A (S)-lactate binds tighter to the G99A-mutant than to wild-type 440397 1.13.12.4 H290Q - 440424 1.13.12.4 H290Q the ability of L-lactate to reduce the enzyme flavin is abolished, whereas reoxidation of reduced enzyme with oxygen proceeds at a rate like that found in the wild type enzyme. Unlike the situation with wild type enzyme, where the transition state analog oxalate is bound tightly in a two-step reaction involving proton uptake from solution, the mutant enzyme binds oxalate weakly, in a single step reaction. Replacing the histidine has a significant effect on the ability of the enzyme to stabilize the flavin N(5)-sulfite adduct. Sulfite is bound at least 1000fold weaker than it is in the wild type enzyme 440400 1.13.12.4 K266M the rate of reduction with (S)-lactate is decreased compared with that of the wild-type enzyme, the mutant enzyme is virtually inactive 440399, 440424 1.13.12.4 R293K uncoupled reaction, no decarboxylation 440424 1.13.12.4 Y152F nearly as active as wild-type 440424 1.13.12.4 Y44F uncoupled reaction, no decarboxylation 440424
