Abstract excerpt
The structures of the single-residue mutants H134Q and Y76A of bovine pancreatic DNase I have been determined and refined including data to 2.3 and 2.4 A resolution respectively, by X-ray crystallography. H134 is an essential catalytic residue, while Y76 contributes to the binding of DNA by providing a large van der Waals contact area that stabilizes the wide minor groove seen in DNase I-DNA complexes. The mutant...
