Abstract excerpt
A cysteine residue with a short amino acid chain spacer was attached to the C-terminal end of mutant dihydrofolate reductase [DHFR(C152E)] by a recombinant DNA technique. By using 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) as a SH reagent, it was determined that the reactivity of the SH group of the introduced C-terminal cysteine was much higher than that of cysteines with the wild-type DHFR (C85 and C152),...
