摘要: Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase is virtually inactive in erythrocytes from patients with the classical Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. In one such patient, activity of this enzyme ranged 8 to 34 percent normal when assayed a very high concentration magnesium 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate. addition, mutant exhibited sigmoidal kinetics substrate as well an increased Michaelis constant for both guanine and hypoxanthine. These findings provide first evidence genetic heterogeneity within group
