Abstract excerpt
Five residues in the multifunctional catalase-peroxidase KatG of Burkholderia pesudomallei are essential for catalase, but not peroxidase, activity. Asp141 is the only one of these catalase-specific residues not related with the covalent adduct found in KatGs that when replaced with a nonacidic residue reduces catalase activity to 5% of native levels. Replacing the nearby catalytic residue Arg108 causes a...
