Abstract excerpt
In this research, the role of amino acid residue P272 of arginine kinase (AK) was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. When the structure of AK was impaired by mutation, AK was in a partially unfolded state with more hydrophobic exposure, which was prone to aggregate under environmental stresses. Mutation at this position influences transition from the molten globule intermediate to the native state in...
