Abstract excerpt
Four glutamate residues in the prototypic gamma-class carbonic anhydrase from Methanosarcina thermophila (Cam) were characterized by site-directed mutagenesis and chemical rescue studies. Alanine substitution indicated that an external loop residue, Glu 84, and an internal active site residue, Glu 62, are both important for CO(2) hydration activity. Two other external loop residues, Glu 88 and Glu 89, are less...
