Research Abstract |
Flavoenzymes, lipoate dehydrogenase and flavocytochrome B_2 was studied on correlation between the dynamic structure and catalytic function. The protein structures were determined by circular dichroism and fluorescence. The catalytic functions were measured by enzyme kinetics and electron spin resonace. Lipoate dehydrogenase was composed of four domains. NAD-binding domain fluctuated to elevate efficiency of electron transfer. Flavocytochrome B_2 was composed of two domains, flavin-binding domain which had a diaphorase activity and heme-binding domain. complex formation of both domains suppressed a diaphorase activity and induced a lactate dehydrogenase activity.
