Abstract excerpt
Arginine kinase (AK) catalyzes the reversible phosphorylation of arginine by ATP, yielding the phosphoarginine. Amino acid residues in the guanidine specificity (GS) region play important roles in the guanidine-recognition. However, little is known about roles of amino acid residue G66 in the GS region in proteins folding, activity and structural stability. In this study, a series of G66 mutations were...
