Abstract excerpt
We have examined the functional properties including autophosphorylation of the Mycobacterium leprae Hsp70 homologue. Recombinant M. leprae Hsp70 had pH optima for its adenosine triphosphatase and autophosphorylating activities which were near pH 8 and 6, respectively. Both these activities were...
