Abstract excerpt
Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase belongs to the class of adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl)-dependent carbon skeleton isomerases and catalyzes the rearrangement of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA. In this study, we have evaluated the contribution of the active site residue, R207, in the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase-catalyzed reaction. The R207Q mutation results in a 10(4)-fold decrease in k(cat) and >30-fold increase in the K(M)...
