Abstract excerpt
The side chains of Escherichia coli phosphofructokinase (EcPFK) that interact with bound substrate, fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P), are examined for their potential roles in allosteric regulation. Mutations that severely decrease Fru-6-P affinity and/or k(cat)/K(m) were created at each contact residue, with the exception of the catalytic base, D127. Even though Fru-6-P affinity was greatly decreased for R162E,...
