Abstract excerpt
A "hinge-bending" domain movement has been postulated as an important part of the catalytic mechanism of phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) (Banks et al., 1979). In order to test the role of the flexibility of a putative interdomain hinge in the substrate- and sulfate-induced conformational transitions, alanine-183 was replaced by proline using site-directed mutagenesis. The maximal velocity of the Ala 183----Pro...
