Abstract excerpt
Most oligomeric proteins become active only after assembly, but why oligomerization is required to support function is not well understood. Here, we address this question using the wild type (WT) and a destabilized mutant (D93N) of the hexameric nucleoside diphosphate kinase from the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mt-NDPK). The conformational dynamics and oligomeric states of each were analyzed during...
