Abstract excerpt
Arginine kinase, a member of phosphagen kinase, is a key enzyme in the cellular energy metabolism of invertebrates. A series mutation of conserved amino acid residue V65 was constructed to investigate its role in AK substrate synergism, structural stability and activity. Our study revealed that mutation in this conserved site could cause pronounced loss of activity, conformational changes and distinct substrate...
