Reczkowski R S, Markham G D
Abstract excerpt
Site-specific mutagenesis was performed on the structural gene for Escherichia coli S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) synthetase to introduce mutations at cysteines 90 and 240, residues previously implicated by chemical modification studies to be catalytically and/or structurally important. The AdoMe...
