wild type and mutant enzyme each contain two SH groups per alpha-chain
pyruvate
-
contains several functionally essential pyruvate residues, covalently bound through an amide linkage to a Phe residue of the peptide chain. The free carbonyl group of these pyruvate residues undergoes Schiff base formation with His as part of the catalytic process

S51A/G58D
-
mutant enzyme 3 has two amino acid replacements, both in the beta chain: Ser51 is replaced by Ala and Gly58 by Asp. In addition, about 15% of the mutant beta chains contain Met-Ser at the NH2-terminus rather than Ser. These replacements decrease stability of the enzyme and change its pH activity profile, but do not decrease its activity at pH 4.8, its optimum
S51A/G58D
-
mutant enzyme Ser51Ala/Gly58Asp shows a significantly increased alpha-helical content and a significant decrease in the isoelectric point of the beta chain, consistent with changes in physical and catalytic properties of the mutant enzyme
