Abstract excerpt
Phosphoglycerate mutases from different sources exhibit a variety of quaternary structures (tetramer, dimer and monomer). To perturb the tetrameric structure of yeast phosphoglycerate mutase we have prepared a mutant enzyme in which Lys-168 in the subunit-contact region has been replaced by proline. The K168P mutant enzyme undergoes dissociation to dimers at low concentrations; thus on lowering the concentration...
