Abstract

Flavin-peptides were purified from pyranose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.10) after tryptic- chymotryptic and tryptic digestion. The spectral and chromatographic properties of these flavin peptides showed that the FAD of pyranose oxidase appears to be bound, by way of the 8${\alpha}$-methylene group, to the N-l position of the imidazole ring of the histidine. Automated sequence analysis showed that the amino acid sequence of the tryptic-chymotryptic flavin-peptide from pyranose oxidase is Ser-Thr-X-Trp and that of the tryptic flavin-peptide is Met-Ser-Thr-X-Trp.
