Abstract excerpt
The enzyme triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) has been used as a model system for understanding the relationship between protein sequence, structure, and biological function. The sequence of the active site loop (loop 6) in TIM is directly correlated with a conserved motif in loop 7. Replacement of loop 7 of chicken TIM with the corresponding loop 7 sequence from an archaeal homologue caused a 10(2)-fold loss in...
