Abstract excerpt
Trp140 of E. coli aspartate aminotransferase has been converted to Phe or Gly by site-directed mutagenesis. As compared to the wild-type enzyme, either of the mutant enzymes showed 10- to 100-fold increase in Km's for natural dicarboxylic substrates, but did not show appreciable changes in Km's for aromatic substrates. Teh kcat values for dicarboxylic and aromatic substrates were greatly decreased by...
