Abstract: | Inactivation of inorganic pyrophosphatase from E. coli by pyridoxal-5'-phosphate is due to the modification of a lysine residue located in the tryptic peptide with the Asp-Leu-Pro-Glu N-terminal sequence. In course of the enzymatic process this lysine-residue appears to be in the protonated state and either operators as the proton donor for the product of the enzymatic reaction or is involved in stabilization of the transition state. |
