Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of the phosphodiesterase reaction catalyzed by staphylococcal nuclease is believed to involve concerted general acid-base catalysis by Arg-87 and Glu-43. The mutual interactions of Arg-87 and Glu-43 were investigated by comparing kinetic and thermodynamic properties of the single mutant enzymes E43S (Glu-43 to Ser) and R87G (Arg-87 to Gly) with those of the double mutant, E43S + R87G, in which both...
