Abstract excerpt
The primary role of Tyr225 in the aspartate aminotransferase mechanism is to provide a hydrogen bond to stabilize the 3'O- functionality of bound pyridoxal phosphate. The strength of this hydrogen bond is perturbed by replacement of Tyr225 with 3-fluoro-L-tyrosine (FlTyr) by in vitro transcriptio...
