Abstract excerpt
Residue 31 of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is located at the entrance to the active site. To study the role of residue 31 in PLA2, six mutant enzymes were produced by site-directed mutagenesis, replacing Leu by either Trp, Arg, Ala, Thr, Ser or Gly. Direct binding studies indicated a three to six times greater affinity of the Trp31 PLA2 for both monomeric and micellar substrate analogs, relative to...
