Abstract excerpt
Although how Lys21 interacts with the substrate MgATP of muscle adenylate kinase (AK) can now be deduced from the crystal structure of Escherichia coli AK.MgAP5A [P1,P5-bis(5'-adenosyl) pentaphosphate] [Müller, C. W., & Schulz, G. E. (1992) J. Mol. Biol. 224, 159-177], its contribution to catalysis has not yet been demonstrated by functional studies since the proton NMR of the K21M mutant was shown to be...
