Structural basis of carnitine monooxygenase CntA substrate specificity, inhibition, and intersubunit electron transfer

Microbial metabolism of carnitine to trimethylamine (TMA) in the gut can accelerate atherosclerosis and heart disease, and these TMA-producing enzymes are therefore important drug targets. Here, we report the first structures of the carnitine oxygenase CntA, an enzyme of the Rieske oxygenase family....
