Abstract

Highlights: [•] SNP rs1143684 results in either a Phe or Leu at position 47 in human NQO2. [•] NQO2-L47 has a slightly lower k <subscript>cat</subscript>/K <subscript>m</subscript>; it also has a lower K <subscript>i,app</subscript> with resveratrol. [•] NQO2-L47 is more unstable to proteolysis and thermal denaturation. [•] NQO2-F47 (but not NQO2-L47) shows negative cooperativity towards resveratrol. [•] NQO2-L47 exists as multiple conformers in solution. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
