Inactivation of TS(Asn177-->Asp) by deoxyuridylate is not due to negative cooperativity created by the mutation. The 'artificial isozyme' method we have developed for purifying heterodimers away from the progenitor homodimers is generally applicable to other hetero-oligomeric proteins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
