Abstract excerpt
MT3 shows apparently different properties and function from MT1 even though they have 70% sequence homology. Possibly the two inserts, Thr5 and a negatively charged hexapeptide at position-55 in MT3, play important roles. A series of MT3 variants around the EAAEAE hexapeptide have been prepared by site-directed mutagenesis and their properties and reactivity towards pH, EDTA and DTNB have been studied. Our...
