title: Kinetic studies of the native and mutated intracellular beta-glucosidases from Cellulomonas biazotea.
abstract: The mutation, conferring streptomycin and deoxyglucose resistance on cells, had profound effect on the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters inferring thermostabilization of beta-glucosidase from mutant 51 SM(r) of Cellulomonas biazotea. Free energy of activation for substrate binding, enthalpy and entropy of activation for irreversible denaturation of mutant-derived enzyme were decreased compared with enzyme from wild organism suggesting that the mutation partly stabilized the enzyme and that mutation made it more reactive.
