Abstract excerpt
The handle region (residues 84-99) in ribonuclease HI (RNase HI) from Escherichia coli, which is rich in basic amino acid residues, was altered by alanine-scanning mutagenesis. Fifteen mutant proteins were purified to homogeneity and analyzed for the enzymatic activity. A mutation of either of 2 tryptophan residues at 85 or 90 resulted in a large increase in the Km value along with a large decrease in the Vmax...
