Abstract excerpt
Tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ) dehalogenase is profoundly inhibited by its aromatic substrates, TCHQ and trichlorohydroquinone (TriCHQ). Surprisingly, mutations that change Ile12 to either Ser or Ala give an enzyme that shows no substrate inhibition. We have previously shown that TriCHQ is a noncompetitive inhibitor of the thiol-disulfide exchange reaction between glutathione and ESSG, a covalent adduct between...
