Abstract
► Ornithine 4,5 aminomutase is a PLP and adenosylcobalamin-dependent radical enzyme. ► Active site His225 forms a hydrogen bond to PLP phenolic oxygen. ► H225A and H225Q mutants have lower rates of catalytic turnover and specificity. ► His225 contributes to the overstabilization of PLP radical intermediates. ► His225 potentially participates in catalysis by partial proton transfer to PLP.
