Abstract excerpt
Mixed disulphide formation in the presence of oxidized glutathione reversibly inactivates rabbit skeletal muscle aldolase. Inactivation is allosteric, preferentially modifying Cys-72 on the surface of the aldolase homotetramer distant from active-site locations and subunit interfaces. Ion-exchange chromatography fractionates partly inactivated aldolase into three distinct enzymic species: unmodified enzyme,...
