Remote mutations and active site dynamics correlate with catalytic properties of purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

Abstract excerpt

It has been found that with mutation of two surface residues (Lys(22) --> Glu and His(104) --> Arg) in human purine nucleoside phosphorylase (hPNP), there is an enhancement of catalytic activity in the chemical step. This is true although the mutations are quite remote from the active site, and there are no significant changes in crystallographic structure between the wild-type and mutant active sites. We propose...
