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 ...

Oxygenases have long been thought to require a cofactor for catalysis. The structure of a vancomycin biosynthetic enzyme in complex with a substrate analog, and with molecular oxygen bound in its ...

The SCAN enzyme is at the heart of this discovery ... depends on nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which generates the SNO-CoA cofactor. By elucidating SCAN’s mechanisms, the researchers have ...

The Stull lab primarily focuses on the class of enzymes that use riboflavin-derived cofactors (flavin-dependent enzymes), which catalyze a wide array of chemical transformations that are crucial for ...

burgdorferi does not rely on thiamin, an essential cofactor for most organisms. Instead, it depends on the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (BbLDH) to convert pyruvate to lactate, a process crucial ...
