Abstract excerpt
Deletion mutants of arginine kinase (AK) were constructed: AKND4, AKND6, AKND8, AKND10 (the first 4, 6, 8 and 10 amino acids of the N-terminal were deleted), to investigate the structural and functional roles of the N-terminal. Results showed that the deletion mutants assume less compact conformations compared to the wild-type, whereas no significant changes of the secondary or the quaternary structures were...
