Abstract excerpt
Primary amines functionally replace lysine 258 by catalyzing both the 1,3-prototropic shift and external aldimine hydrolysis reactions with the inactive aspartate aminotransferase mutant K258A. This finding allows classical Brønsted analyses of proton transfer reactions to be applied to enzyme-catalyzed reactions. An earlier study of the reaction of K258A with cysteine sulfinate (Toney, M.D. & Kirsch, J.F., 1989,...
