Joint neutron/X-ray crystal structure of a mechanistically relevant complex of perdeuterated urate oxidase and simulations provide insight into the hydration step of catalysis

Cofactor-independent urate oxidase (UOX) is an ∼137 kDa tetrameric enzyme essential for uric acid (UA) catabolism in many organisms. UA is first oxidized by O(2) to de­hydro­isourate (DHU) via a peroxo intermediate. DHU then undergoes hydration to 5-hy­droxy­isourate (5HIU). At different stages of t...
