Abstract excerpt
Kinetic and binding studies have shown that Lys39 of Escherichia coli ADPglucose synthetase is involved in binding of the allosteric activator. In order to study structure-function relationships at the activator binding site, this lysine residue was substituted by glutamic acid (Lys39----Glu) by site-directed mutagenesis. The resultant mutant enzyme (E-39) showed activation kinetics different from those of the...
