Indoleglycerol phosphate synthase-phosphoribosyl anthranilate isomerase: comparison of the bifunctional enzyme from Escherichia coli with engineered monofunctional domains.

abstract：:Horseradish peroxidase C binds a wide variety of small H-donor compounds such as benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) and 2-naphthohydroxamic acid (NHA). In this work, we use the Mg(II)-mesoporphyrin prosthetic group derivative as a spectroscopic probe of the active site and of the interaction with the substrates. We report on ...
