Abstract excerpt
Missense mutations in the enzyme, glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) have been shown to be one cause of persistent isolated hypermethioninaemia in humans. These mutations were first identified by metabolite analysis and were shown to be L49P, N140S, and H176N by gene sequencing. Here we report the kinetic and conformational characterization of the wild type and the three human mutant GNMTs expressed in...
