Abstract excerpt
Homotrimeric mammalian purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) plays a key role in the nucleoside and nucleotide metabolic salvage pathway. Each monomer in the active PNP trimer is composed of a central β-sheet flanked by several α-helices. We investigated the stability of calf PNP using analytical ultracentrifugation, differential scanning calorimetry, circular dichroism, and UV absorption spectroscopy. The...
