The absence of a KIE on kcat⁄ Kmfor the substrate binding first is a clear requirement of the strictly ordered kinetic ... of magnitude below the apparent Km of 40 mm. A physiological role of AfM2DH inthe utilization of intracellular Man-ol viareversal of path 2 in Scheme 1 is therefore proposed. In light of the...

Pre-incubation of the recombinant protein with ... againstinactivation was observed and the initial GS activitywas maintained (116.5 ± 7.3% ofthe initial activity). The protective effect was abolished when the recom-binant protein was heat-inactivated ... but the bindingwas not affected by preincubation ofthe protein withFP.
