Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanism underlying the metabolic defect in phenylketonuria (PKU) patients carrying the V388M missense mutation of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene has been characterized. An in vitro prokaryotic expression system has been used to produce both the wild-type and the mutant form of the human PAH (hPAH) protein. The recombinant enzymes, obtained as fusion proteins, were purified by immobilized...
