Abstract excerpt
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), an immunoregulatory protein, exhibits a phenylpyruvate tautomerase (PPT) activity. The catalytic mechanism of this activity has recently attracted attention in an effort to determine whether there is a relationship between the PPT activity and the role of MIF in various immune and inflammatory processes. One of the active site residues is lysine-32, which is...
