Abstract excerpt
Creatine kinase (CK), a key enzyme in maintaining the intracellular energetic homeostasis, contains two domains connected by a long linker. In this research,we found that the mutations of the conserved Asp122 in the linker slightly affected CK activity, structure and stability. The hydrogen bonding and the ion pair contributed 2-5 kJ/mol to the conformational stability of CK. Interestingly, the ability of CK...
