Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli inorganic pyrophosphatase (E-PPase) is a homohexamer formed from two trimers related by a two-fold axis. The residue Asp26 participates in intertrimeric contacts. Kinetics of MgPPi hydrolysis by a mutant Asp26Ala E-PPase is found to not obey Michaelis-Menten equation but can be described within the scheme of activation of hydrolysis by a free PPi binding at an effectory subsite. Existence of such...
