pubmed:abstractText
Wild-type trypanosomal triosephosphate isomerase (wtTIM) is a very tight dimer. The interface residue His-47 of wtTIM has been mutated into an asparagine. Ultracentrifugation data show that this variant (H47N) only dimerises at protein concentrations above 3 mg/ml. H47N has been characterised at a protein concentration where it is predominantly a monomer. Circular dichroism measurements in the near-UV and far-UV show that this monomer is a compactly folded protein with secondary structure similar as in wtTIM. The thermal stability of the monomeric H47N is decreased compared to wtTIM: temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) measurements give Tm-values of 41 degrees C for wtTIM, whereas the Tm-value for the monomeric form of H47N is approximately 7 degrees C lower.
