Abstract excerpt
The current study investigated the significance of βLeu-382 and βSer-383 residues in the highly conserved βDELSEED-loop of Escherichia coli ATP synthase. E. coli wild type and mutant enzymes were inhibited by the honeybee venom peptide melittin, which is a known ATP synthase inhibitor. The wild type enzyme was fully inhibited by melittin. Melittin-induced inhibitory profiles of single mutants βL382A/R/Q/D/E and...
