oxidase catalyzes the flavin-dependent, two-step oxidation of choline to glycine betaine with the formation of an aldehyde intermediate. In the first oxidation reaction, the alcohol substrate is initially activated to its alkoxide via proton abstraction. The substrate is oxidized via transfer of a hydride from the alkoxide α-carbon to the N(5) atom of the enzyme-bound flavin. In the wild-type enzyme
