The catalytic role of ... perturbation of the active site by complete removal of the side chain mainly affectedenzyme acetylation (k2).pH dependence of NAT acetylationUsually, the pH dependence of acetylation of NAT(k2⁄ ... acetylation by AcCoA (Eqn 2), the values of k2for AcCoA can be predicted to range from 10 to1740 s)1. Hence, from the kcatvalues for the acetyla-tion of PNA by AcCoA, we were able to predict...
