Chemical Interactions of Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs) and Glycerol with Protein Functional Groups: Applications to Effects of PEG and Glycerol on Protein Processes.

abstract：:Monomeric sarcosine oxidase (MSOX) is a prototypical member of a recently recognized family of amine-oxidizing enzymes that all contain covalently bound flavin. Mutation of the covalent flavin attachment site in MSOX produces a catalytically inactive apoprotein (apoCys315Ala) that forms an unstable complex with FAD (K...
