Abstract excerpt
A tryptophan-shift variant of Bacillus stearothermophilus phosphofructokinase (BsPFK), W179F/F76W, was constructed to evaluate the binding and allosteric characteristics associated with MgATP. W179F/F76W BsPFK has a specific activity of 77+/-1 U/mg at pH 7 and 25 degrees C, which is a 35% decrease compared to the wild-type enzyme. The K(m) for MgATP increases from 43+/-3 microM for wild-type BsPFK to 160+/-7...
