Abstract excerpt
The cDNA of human medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCADH) was modified by in vitro mutagenesis, and the sequence encoding the mature form of MCADH was introduced into an inducible expression plasmid. We observed synthesis of the protein in Escherichia coli cells transformed with this plasmid with measurable MCADH enzyme activity in cell extracts. Glutamic acid 376, which has been proposed by Powell and Thorpe...
