Abstract excerpt
Site-directed substitutions (Asp, Gly, Gln, His, and Lys) were made for Glu-461 of beta-galactosidase (Escherichia coli). All substitutions resulted in loss of most activity. Substrates and a substrate analog inhibitor were bound better by the Asp-substituted enzyme than by the normal enzyme, about the same for enzyme substituted with Gly, but only poorly when Gln, His, or Lys was substituted. This shows that...
