Abstract excerpt
We have engineered a mutant form of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase which is tryptophan-free and contains five mutations, namely delta W28L/alpha W513F/gamma W108Y/gamma W206Y/beta W107F. A strain carrying all five mutations grew normally by oxidative phosphorylation. Purified mutant F1-ATPase showed Vmax and Km both 65% higher than wild-type, resulting in kcat/Km the same as wild-type. The pH dependence of ATPase...
