General Information | Comment | Organism |

evolution | most BLVRB enzymes have an arginine at either residue 14 or residue 78 (human numbering), although a subset maintain an arginine at both sites. In primates, the two substitutions are made on the same branch separating the common ancestor of the Simiiformes (apes, new and old-world monkeys) with the common ancestor of the Haplorhini (i.e., after the split from the common ancestor with the tarsier). This suggests possible adaptive coevolution at these two sites and adjusting the location of this arginine may serve to fine-tune coenzyme binding in BLVRB enzymes | Homo sapiens |
