Abstract excerpt
The transition state of the Vmax mutant of AMP nucleosidase from Azotobacter vinelandii [Leung, H. B., & Schramm, V. L. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 12823-12829] has been characterized by heavy-atom kinetic isotope effects in the presence and absence of MgATP, the allosteric activator. The enzyme catalyzes hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond of AMP at approximately 2% of the rate of the normal enzyme with only...
