Functional roles for amino acids in active site loop II of a hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase.

Abstract excerpt

A flexible loop of amino acids (loop II) closes over the active site of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) as the enzyme approaches the transition state [Biochemistry 37 (1998) 17120]. Formerly, the deletion of much of loop II from the HPRT of Trypanosoma cruzi resulted in a 2-3 order...
