Abstract excerpt
The six mutations, referred to as the Hex mutations, that together have been shown to convert Escherichia coli aspartate aminotransferase (AATase) specificity to be substantially like that of E. coli tyrosine aminotransferase (TATase) are dissected into two groups, (T109S/N297S) and (V39L/K41Y/T47I/N69L). The letters on the left and right of the numbers designate AATase and TATase residues, respectively. The...
