Molecular characterization of polyphosphate kinase (ppk) gene from Serratia marcescens.

abstract：:Motif analysis of PGa4 indicated that eight consecutive guanine residues were most important for pyrroloquinoline quinine glucose dehydrogenase (PQQGDH) recognition. Because the truncated mutants minimized unexpected interactions between PGa4 and the target-binding aptamer, they will now facilitate the construction of...
