4.1.2.52 D42A inactive, the mutation leads to a concomitant loss of the metal ion 725493 4.1.2.52 H45A by site-directed mutagenesis, mutant enzyme has 24fold higher dissociation constant for Co2+ compared to the wild-type enzyme, apparent Km value for Co2+ increases by about 800fold compared to the wild-type enzyme, different kcat and km values 722258 4.1.2.52 H45A the mutation leads to a decrease in kcat of the enzyme by 78fold 725493 4.1.2.52 H45Q by site-directed mutagenesis, mutant enzyme has 69fold higher dissociation constant for Co2+ compared to the wild-type enzyme, apparent Km value for Co2+ increases by about 800fold compared to the wild-type enzyme, different kcat and km values 722258 4.1.2.52 H45Q the mutation leads to a decrease in kcat of the enzyme by 2059fold 725493 4.1.2.52 R70A almost inactive 725493 4.1.2.52 R70A replacement by site-specific mutagenesis results in an enzyme that lacks both aldolase and decarboxylase activities. The mutant enzyme is also unable to catalyze pyruvate proton exchange 721601 4.1.2.52 R70K the mutation reduces catalytic efficiency by 270fold 725493
