Improved catalytic performance of a 2-haloacid dehalogenase from Azotobacter sp. by ion-exchange immobilisation.

abstract：:Structure-function relationships in the 6 epidermal growth factor-like domains of human thrombomodulin (TME, residues 227-462) were studied by deletion mutagenesis. Purified and characterised proteins were used for kinetic studies. Deletion of EGF1, EGF2 and residues 310-332 in EGF3 had no effect on thrombin binding (...
