Abstract:AbstractZinc phosphodiesterase (ZiPD) participates in the maturation of tRNA precursors. The roles of metal ions in promoting phosphoryl transfer reaction on zinc phosphodiesterase (ZiPD) activity have not been fully characterized. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of some metal ions on phosphodiesterase activity of Escherichia coli ZiPD as well as the binding site and binding affinity of the metal ions. ZiPD activity was measured by moni… Show more
