Figure Legends
Figure 1. Structures of the active site in FMN and the surrounding amino acid residues of
the L-lactate oxidase (LOX) in the presence of (a) acetic acid, (b) L-lactate, (c) D-lactate
or (d) pyruvate represented as stick models. Electron density maps are shown as a 2mFoDFc omit map at 3.0 s levels. Images were prepared using the PyMOL Molecular Graphic
System program.
Figure 2. Distances between the L-lactate and surrounding amino acid residues. Values
are designated using the angstrom unit and shown by the dotted line.
Figure 3. Molecular surfaces in the LOX as seen from the invading substrate; (a) substrate
FREE open form (b). In the magnified square in image (a) FMN can be seen in red and
acetic acid in cyan. (c) closed form of the L-lactate bound complex, areas highlighted in
magenta represent those in a new position when compared to the open (a) form. Images
represent a LOX dimer with the opposite molecule being the B-mol.
Figure 4. Coupled movements of the H265 and D174 residues near the FMN. (a) Substrate
FREE form, two amino acids far from the FMN si-side, (b) substrate bound closed form,
two coupled residues move toward FMN but retain a distance of 2.8 Å.
