Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutagenesis and X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies have previously shown that the tRNA-guanine transglycosylase (TGT) from Escherichia coli is a zinc metalloprotein and identified the enzymic ligands to the zinc [Chong et al. (1995), Biochemistry 34, 3694-3701; Garcia et al. (1966), Biochemistry 35, 3133-3139]. During these studies one mutant, TGT (C265A), was found to exhibit a significantly...
