Abstract excerpt
The phenomenon of cold scission or cold lability, which entails a widespread variety of oligomeric enzymes, is still enigmatic. The effect of cooling on the activity and the quaternary structure of the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme, tryptophanase (Tnase), was studied utilizing sin...
