Figure 5.
(a) A model representing the microenvironment from pH 4.5 to 7.3, where FAD is in the neutral oxidized form and His447 is in the imidazole form protonated at NE2. (b) A model representing the microenvironment at pH 9.0, where the negative charge of the imidazolate form of His447 is stabilized by interaction with Asn321 and Asn323.
