Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Wild‐type flavocytochrome b (L‐lactate dehydrogenase) from Saccharotnyces cerevisiae, as well as a number of its point mutants, can be expressed to a reasonable level as recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli (20–25 mg per liter culture) with a full complement of prosthetic groups. At the same expression level, active‐site mutants Y254L and D282N, on the other hand, were obtained with an FMN/heme ratio significantly less than unity, which could not be raised by addition of free FMN. Evidence is provided that the flavin deficit is due to incomplete prosthetic group incorporation during biosynthesis. Flavin‐free and holo‐forms for both mutants could be separated on a Blue‐Trisacryl M column. The far‐UV CD spectra of the two forms of each mutant protein were very similar to one another and to that of the wild‐type enzyme, suggesting the existence of only local conformational differences between the active holo‐enzymes and the nonreconstitutable flavin‐free forms. Selective proteolysis with chymotrypsin attacked the same bond for the two mutant holo‐enzymes as in the wild‐type one, in the protease‐sensitive loop. In contrast, for the flavin‐free forms of both mutants, cleavage occurred at more than a single bond. Identification of the cleaved bonds suggested that the structural differences between the mutant flavin‐free and holo‐forms are located mostly at the C‐terminal end of the barrel, which carries the prosthetic group and the active site. Altogether, these findings suggest that the two mutations induce an alteration of the protein‐folding process during biosynthesis in E. coli; as a result, the synchrony between folding and flavin insertion is lost. Finally, a preliminary kinetic characterization of the mutant holo‐forms showed the K value for lactate to be little affected; k, values fell by a factor of about 70 for the D282N mutant and of more than 500 for the Y254L mutant, compared to the wild‐type enzyme.
