Abstract excerpt
Phenylalanine dehydrogenase from Thermoactinomyces intermedius and leucine dehydrogenase from Bacillus stearothermophilus show a 59% sequence similarity in their substrate-binding domains, although their substrate specificities are different. We prepared a phenylalanine dehydrogenase mutant enzyme whose inherent hexapeptide segment (124F-V-H-A-A-129R) in the substrate-binding domain was replaced by the...
