1.7.1.13 C190A complete loss of activity 724767 1.7.1.13 C190A mutation in catalytic residue, no evidence of covalent binding of substrate preQ0. Mutant displays proton uptake 742900 1.7.1.13 C190A the mutation annihilates preQ0 covalent binding and largely disrupts the nitrile-to-amine reductase activity 764418 1.7.1.13 C190S the mutation annihilates preQ0 covalent binding and largely disrupts the nitrile-to-amine reductase activity 764418 1.7.1.13 C99A mutant does not compromise enzyme activity. Contrary to wild-type, peroxide-induced inactivation is irreversible -, 742061 1.7.1.13 C99S mutant does not compromise enzyme activity. Contrary to wild-type, peroxide-induced inactivation is irreversible -, 742061 1.7.1.13 D197A the variant does not take up protons in conjunction with preQ0 binding 764418 1.7.1.13 D197H the variant recovers proton uptake to a level almost analogous to that seen with the wildtype enzyme 764418 1.7.1.13 D197N complete loss of activity 724767 1.7.1.13 E230Q about 4% of wild-type activity for natural substrate 2-amino-5-cyanopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one 724767
