X-ray structures of fructosyl peptide oxidases revealing residues responsible for gating oxygen access in the oxidative half reaction

Abstract Current enzymatic systems for quantifying glycated hemoglobin are based on the FAD-containing enzyme fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX). FPOX has substrate specificity for fructosyl-α N-valyl-histidine derived from proteolytic digestion of the N-terminus of the HbA1c β-chain. This study repor...
