Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutant of spinach betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) was obtained by replacing Glu 103 with Gln 103 and the resulting E 103 Q mutant was expressed in Escherichia coli. The mutant BADH as compared to the wild-type BADH was slightly more sensitive to inhibition by NaCl but less sensitive to inhibition by (NH(4))(2)SO(4). Glycinebetaine (GB) activated the wild-type enzyme but not the mutant enzyme....
