Full-length in meso structure and mechanism of rat kynurenine 3-monooxygenase inhibition
Communications Biology, 2021 Mimasu et al. report a rat full-length structure of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) in its membrane-embedded form, complexed with two inhibitors. They find that the dimeric interface of KMO is critical for its activity. This study provides insights into
