Abstract excerpt
Phosphoribosyltransferase (PRTase) and nucleoside phosphorylase (NPase) activities were detected by radiometric methods in extracts of Methanococcus voltae. Guanine PRTase activity was present at 2.7 nmol min(-1) mg of protein(-1) and had an apparent Km for guanine of 0.2 mM and a pH optimum of 9. The activity was inhibited 50% by 0.3 mM GMP. IMP and AMP were not inhibitory at concentrations up to 0.6 mM....
