Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study is to clarify the amino acid residues responsible for the synergism in substrate binding of arginine kinase (AK), a key enzyme in invertebrate energy metabolism. AKs contain a pair of highly conserved amino acids (D62 and R193) that form an ion pair, and replacement of these residues can cause a pronounced loss of activity. Interestingly, in the oyster Crassostrea AK, these residues are...
