Abstract excerpt
Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) dysfunction is a critical factor in diverse pathological conditions. Deficiencies in TPI lead to the accumulation of toxic methylglyoxal (MGO), which induces non-enzymatic post-translational modifications, thus compromising protein stability and leading to misfolding. This study investigates how specific TPI mutations (E104D, N16D, and C217K) affect the enzyme's structural...
