title: Involvement of a tyrosine residue in the ADP binding site of creatine kinase. A second-derivative UV-spectroscopy study.
abstract: Second-derivative spectroscopy was used to determine the percentage of tyrosine residues that are exposed to solvent in rabbit MM-creatine kinase. Six residues, among the ten present per monomer, are solvent-exposed. The presence of creatine in the incubation medium does not modify this value. However, this number is decreased by one when the enzyme is incubated with saturating concentrations of MgADP. A dissociation constant for MgADP can be estimated and the obtained value (0.085 mM) is comparable to the Km for this substrate. Thus, a tyrosine residue is located near the MgADP binding site or is masked during protein conformational change induced by adenyl nucleotide binding.
