Abstract excerpt
Porphobilinogen deaminase mutants that cause acute intermittent porphyria have been investigated as recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli, yielding important insight into the mechanism of dipyrromethane cofactor assembly and tetrapyrrole chain polymerization. A mutation that affects a key catalytic residue, D99G, results in an inactive holo -protein that exists as a complex with two substrate...
