Abstract excerpt
Creatine kinase (CK) is a key enzyme in vertebrate excitable tissues. In this research, five conserved residues located on the intra-subunit domain-domain interface were mutated to explore their role in the activity and structural stability of CK. The mutations of Val72 and Gly73 decreased both the activity and stability of CK. The mutations of Cys74 and Val75, which had no significant effect on CK activity and...
