title: Arginyl residues in the NADPH-binding sites of phenol hydroxylase.
abstract: Phenol hydroxylase was inactivated by the arginine reagents 2,3-butanedione, 1,2-cyclohexanedione, and phenylglyoxal. The cosubstrate NADPH, as well as NADPH+ and several analogues thereof, protected the enzyme against inactivation. Phenol did not protect the activity against any of the reagents used, nor did modification by 2,3-butanedione affect the binding of phenol. We propose the presence of arginyl residues in the binding sites for the adenosine phosphate part of NADPH.
