Abstract/Summary:
he focus of this work is structural and functional studies of wild-type and active-site mutants of human adenosine deaminase. Two active-site amino acids, Glu217 and His238, were previously substituted with alanine by site-directed mutagenesis. The Glu217Ala and His238Ala mutants showed little or no changes in Zn content and...
