Abstract
Aspartic acids 65, 67, 70, 97 and 102 in the inorganic pyrophosphatase of Escherichia coli, identified as evolutionarily conserved residues of the active site, have been replaced by asparagine. Each mutation was found to decrease the κ app value by approx. 2–3 orders of magnitude. At the same time, the K m values changed only slightly. Only minor changes take place in the pK values of the residues essential for both substrate binding and catalysis. All mutant variants have practically the same affinity to Mg2+ as the wild-type pyrophosphatase.Keywords
