Hexachlorobenzene Catabolism Involves a Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution and Flavin-N5-Oxide Formation.

abstract：:Displacement of the fluorescent substrate analogue methylanthraniloyl ADP (mant-ADP) from kinesin by excess ATP results in a biphasic fluorescent transient. The pH and microtubule dependence of the rates and amplitudes indicates that the two phases are produced by release of bound mant-ADP, with an excess of the 3'-is...
