Abstract excerpt
Creatine kinase (CK) is a key enzyme for cellular energy metabolism, catalyzing the reversible phosphoryl transfer from phosphocreatine to ADP in vertebrates. CK contains a pair of highly conserved amino acids (H66 and D326) which might play an important role in sustaining the compact structure of CK by linking its N- and C- terminal domains; however the mechanism is still unclear. In this study, spectroscopic,...
