Abstract excerpt
Arginine kinase (AK) catalyzes the reversible phosphorylation of arginine by ATP, yielding the phosphoarginine. In this research, six conserved residues located on the intra-subunit domain-domain interfaces were mutated to explore their roles in the activity and structural stability of dimer AK. The mutations D69A, E70A, E71A and F80A led to pronounced loss of AK activity and structural stability. Although the...
