Abstract excerpt
Sulfhydryl reagents affected the binding properties of the translocator domain, NIII, of enzyme IImtl in two ways: (i) the affinity for mannitol was reduced, and (ii) the exchange rate of bound and free mannitol was increased. The effect on the affinity was very much reduced after solubilization of enzyme IImtl in the detergent decylPEG. The effects were caused exclusively by reaction of the sulfhydryl reagents...
