Abstract excerpt
A truncated, 541-residue-long, Bacillus anthracis adenylate cyclase was expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified protein (CYA 62) exhibited catalytic and CaM-binding properties identical with those of the wild-type enzyme secreted by B. anthracis. The analysis of the secondary structure of the CYA 62 protein by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism revealed the dominance of beta-type...
