Single tryptophan Y160W mutant of homooligomeric E. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase implies that dimers forming the hexamer are functionally not equivalent

Abstract E. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase is a homohexamer, which structure, in the apo form, can be described as a trimer of dimers. Earlier studies suggested that ligand binding and kinetic properties are well described by two binding constants and two sets of kinetic constants. However, mo...
