Mechanistic Studies and Inhibition of N-hydroxylating Monooxygenases
N-hydroxylating monooxygenases (NMO) are members the class B flavoprotein monooxygenases. They catalyze the N-hydroxylation of lysine and ornithine and play and essential role in the biosynthesis of hydroxamate containing siderophores. Siderophores are high affinity iron-chelators composed of …

Structural and Mechanistic Studies on N-Hydroxylating Monooxygenases Involved in Siderophore Biosynthesis
N-Hydroxylating monooxygenases (NMOs) are flavin dependent enzymes that primarily catalyze the hydroxylation of L-ornithine or L-lysine. This is the first, committed step to siderophore biosynthesis. Pathogenic microbes including Aspergillus fumigatus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis secrete these …

Biochemical Characterization of Thermocrispum agreste TheA: A Flavin-Dependent N-hydroxylating Enzyme
N-hydroxylating monooxygenases (NMOs) are Class B flavin-dependent monooxygenases found only in fungi and bacteria. These enzymes catalyze the hydroxylation of nucleophilic primary amines, such as those found in histamine, L-ornithine, L-lysine, and small aliphatic diamines. The hydroxamate moiety …

Structural and Mutational Analyses of Aspergillus fumigatus SidA: A Flavin-Dependent N-hydroxylating Enzyme
SidA from Aspergillus fumigatus is an N-hydroxylating monooxygenase that catalyzes the committed step in siderophore biosynthesis. This gene is essential for virulence making it an excellent drug target. In order to design an inhibitor against SidA a greater understanding of the mechanism and …
