Abstract excerpt
With the aim of enhancing interactions involved in dimer formation, an intersubunit disulfide bridge was engineered in the superoxide dismutase enzyme of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Ser-123 was chosen for mutation to cysteine since it resides at the dimer interface where the serine side chain interacts with the same residue in the opposite subunit. Gel electrophoresis and X-ray crystallographic studies of the...
