Abstract excerpt
The stability of wild-type Escherichia coli malate dehydrogenase was compared with a mutant form of the enzyme with the amino acid residue at position 102 changed from arginine to glutamine. The mutation occurs on the underside of a mobile loop which closes over the active-site cleft on formation of the enzyme/cofactor/substrate ternary complex. The mutant enzyme is kinetically compromised while the wild-type...
