Abstract excerpt
The role of amino acid residues in the enzymatic activity of carboxylesterase from Arthrobacter globiformis was analyzed by diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) labeling and site-directed mutagenesis. The electrospray ionization mass spectrometric (ESI-MS) analysis of the esterase, covalently labeled by DFP, showed stoichiometric incorporation of the inhibitor into the enzyme. The further comparison of...
