experimentally, it is impossible to assay the enzyme activity of the enzyme directly at 98°C because the uncatalyzed hydrolysis of the acyl-phosphate substrate is too fast at high temperatures to allow an accurate measurement of kinetic parameters. Instead, the kinetic parameters of the enzyme are measured at 25-45 °C and the kcat value of the enzyme at 98 °C is estimated by linear extrapolation of the Arrhenius plot. The estimated kcat value is 10000/s

a rigidifying salt-bridge favors the activity of thermophilic enzyme at high temperatures at the expense of low-temperature activity. The thermophilic acylphosphatase from Pyrococcus horikoshii and its homologous mesophilic acylphosphatase from human is employed as a model to study how local rigidity of an active-site residue affects the enzymatic activity

sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method using sodium formate as precipitant at 16°C. The crystals belong to space group P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 85.65 A, c = 75.51 A. The asymmetric unit contains two molecules of enzyme
sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method with postasium/sodium tartrate as the precipitant at pH 5.5. The crystals belong to space group P3(2)21, with approximate unit-cell parameters a = b = 86.7 A, c = 75.4 A and two monomers in the asymmetric unit
At 25°C, the free energy of unfolding, midpoint of transition, and m value were 54.4 kJ/mol, 4.99 M, and 10.9 kJ/mol/M, respectively. The melting temperature is about 111.5°C. These data indicate that PhAcP is an extremely thermostable protein.
