Investigating the chemistry of lipoyl synthase
The radical SAM protein lipoyl synthase (LipA) is essential for lipoic acid biosynthesis via sulfur insertions into the unactivated C6 and C8 centres of a protein-bound octanoyl group. Using an in vitro assay which makes use of a small peptide mimic of the protein substrate, it has now been shown at...
