摘要: Abstract The allosteric phosphofructokinase from Escherichia coli has been renatured after complete unfolding in concentrated guanidine hydrochloride. enzyme regains both its catalytic and regulatory abilities quantitatively. kinetics of reactivation are biphasic consistent with a two-step mechanism which monomolecular reaction precedes bimolecular one. presence ATP during increases the rate at is renatured; second order constant step about 10(4) M-1 S-1 absence to 2 X 10(5) 1 mM ATP. other ligands have no effect on reactivation. It tentatively proposed that folded monomer intermediate species already possesses functional ATP-binding site rate-limiting association formation dimeric species. This interpretation compatible known three-dimensional structure another bacterial phosphofructokinase, Bacillus stearothermophilus.
