Abstract excerpt
Based on the recently solved three-dimensional structure of pterin-4a-carbinolamine dehydratase from rat/human liver the involvement of the proposed active-site residues Glu57, Asp60, His61, His62, Tyr69, His79, Arg87 and Asp88 was examined by site-directed mutagenesis. Most of the mutants showed reduced activity, and only the Glu57-->Ala mutant and the His61-->Ala, His62-->Ala double mutant were fully devoid of...
