Biochem (Tokyo). 120:1996;14-17 The structure of recombinant porcine D-amino acid oxidase is described. The authors emphasise the absence of a residue that could function as the catalytic base postulated in the carboanion mechanism. Although the crystals employed for the crystallographic analysis have different symmetry and are grown under different conditions, the structures of the pig kidney and recombinant enzymes are identical.

Furthermore, the loop controls the substrate specificity to the point that, when proteolytically cleaved, the activity of the enzyme towards various substrates is dramatically altered.

On the reaction mechanism of L-lactate oxidase: quantitative structure-activity analysis of the reaction with para-substituted L-mandelates. of special interest Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 94:1997;9590-9595 This paper addresses the problem of solving the reaction mechanism of α-hydroxy acid dehydrogenases by investigating the reactivity of L-lactate oxidase towards p-substituted mandelates. The new data are compatible with a mechanism in which there is little development of charge in the transition state. This could be through either hydride transfer or a mechanism based on α-proton abstraction occurring simultaneously with neutralisation of the resulting charge by another event.
