Crystal Structure and Catalytic Mechanism of Leucoanthocyanidin Reductase from Vitis vinifera

Leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR) catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of 2 R,3 S,4 S-flavan-3,4-diols into 2 R,3 S-flavan-3-ols, a subfamily of flavonoids that is important for plant survival and for human nutrition. LAR1 from Vitis vinifera has been co-crystallized with or without NADPH and on...
