Structural analysis of urate oxidase in complex with its natural substrate inhibited by cyanide: Mechanistic implications
BACKGROUND: Urate oxidase (EC 1.7.3.3 or UOX) catalyzes the conversion of uric acid and gaseous molecular oxygen to 5-hydroxyisourate and hydrogen peroxide, in the absence of cofactor or particular metal cation. The functional enzyme is a homo-tetramer with four active sites located at dimeric inter...
