Abstract excerpt
The active site glutamate (Glu(111)) and the active site histidine (His(112)) of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) were mutated. These mutant enzymes exhibit, in addition to a large decrease in catalytic activity, a change in the substrate-velocity response from a sigmoidal one seen with the native enzyme (Hill coefficient > 2), to a hyperbolic response. With...
