title: Roles of Arg231 and Tyr284 of Thermus thermophilus isocitrate dehydrogenase in the coenzyme specificity.
abstract: The coenzyme binding site of isocitrate dehydrogenase from Thermus thermophilus was analyzed by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutation analysis revealed that Arg231 and Tyr284 are involved in the discrimination between NAD and NADP, suggesting that these two residues interact with 2'-phosphate group of NADP.
