Abstract excerpt
One of the mutants of Streptomyces cholesterol oxidase with the Val121Ala mutation (V121A) was kinetically analysed. Although the reaction rate-substrate concentration curve of wild type follows a simple Michaelis-Menten equation, that of V121A is sigmoidal. The cooperativity was apparent and caused by non-ionic detergents that were used as a solvent of cholesterol. The concentration dependence of V121A on...
