Abstract excerpt
Ten M.HhaI residues were replaced with alanine to probe the importance of distal protein elements to substrate/cofactor binding, methyl transfer, and product release. The substitutions, ranging from 6-20 A from the active site were evaluated by thermodynamic analysis, pre-steady and steady-state kinetics, to obtain Kd(AdoMet), Kd(DNA), kcat/Km(DNA), kcat, and kmethyltransfer values. For the wild-type M.HhaI,...
