Determination of the pKa for Histidine-51 Residue in the Ternary Compelx of Horse Liver Alcohol Dehydrogenase

  • Published : 1992.09.01

Abstract

The pKa value of histidine-51 residue was determined by the pH dependency of contents of NADH bound to the active site in the orse liver alcohol dehydrogenase and % inactivation with diethyl pyrocarbonate treatment of the enzyme. The pKa for His-51 was -7.15 in the ternary complex and -6.7 in the enzyme itself.
