Abstract excerpt
A designed single amino acid substitution can alter the catalytic activity and mechanism of 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT). While the wild-type enzyme catalyzes only the tautomerization of oxalocrotonate, the Pro1Ala mutant (P1A) catalyzes two reactions--the original tautomerization reaction...
