Abstract excerpt
The catalytic domain of the acetylcholinesterases is composed of a single polypeptide chain, the folding of which determines two subdomains. We have linked these two subdomains by mutating two residues, I327 and D375, to cysteines, to form a disulfide bridge. As a consequence, the hydrodynamic radius of the protein was reduced, suggesting that there is some flexibility in the subdomain connection. In addition to...
