Abstract excerpt
Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) pyrophosphatase (Y-PPase) is a tight homodimer with two active sites separated in space from the subunit interface. The present study addresses the effects of mutation of four amino acid residues at the subunit interface on dimer stability and catalytic activity. The W52S variant of Y-PPase is monomeric up to an enzyme concentration of 300 microm, whereas R51S, H87T, and W279S...
