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 AdoMet synthetase mutants (i.e. MetK/C90A, MetK/C90S, and MetK/C240A) retained up to approximately 10% of wild type...
