<i>Nocardioides</i> sp. PD653 genes <i>hcbA1</i>, <i>hcbA2</i>, and <i>hcbA3</i> encode enzymes that catalyze the oxidative dehalogenation of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), which is one of the most recalcitrant persistent organic pollutants (POPs). In this study, HcbA1, HcbA2, and HcbA3 were heterologously expressed and characterized. Among the flavin species tested, HcbA3 showed the highest affinity for FMN with a <i>K</i> <sub>d</sub> value of 0.75±0.17 µM. Kinetic assays revealed that HcbA3 followe ...[more]
