Abstract excerpt
Through comparison with the high-resolution structure of Clostridium symbiosum glutamate dehydrogenase, the different substrate specificities of the homologous enzymes phenylalanine dehydrogenase and leucine dehydrogenase were attributed to two residues, glycine 124 and leucine 307, in Bacillus sphaericus phenylalanine dehydrogenase, which are replaced with alanine and valine in leucine dehydrogenases. As...
