The results obtained herein raise the possibility that in certain cases different stereospecificities can be acquired in enzymes by changing a few amino acid residues within substrate binding sites.

The crystal structure of E. coli asparagine synthetase has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis at 2.5 Å resolution and it is suggested that new enzymatic activites would generally follow the recruitment of a protein catalyzing a similiar chemical reaction.

Sequence and secondary structure analyses showed that the amino acid residues comprising the acidic cleft of PR-5d are conserved among other antifungal PR-7 proteins, which provides insight into the function of pathogenesis-related proteins.

Kinetic analysis of the mutant TR structures has shown that TR stereospecificity is determined by varying the contributions from electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions and that the present TR structures represent highly evolved forms, in which strict stereOSpecificities and rapid turnover are accomplished together.

The crystal structure of the enzyme has been determined by isomorphous replacement and refined to a 2.0 A resolution and two regions, Gly164 to Gly167 and Ile226 to Arg241, are invisible on the electron density map.
A pseudo-michaelis quaternary complex in the reverse reaction of a ligase: structure of Escherichia coli B glutathione synthetase complexed with ADP, glutathione, and sulfate at 2.0 A resolution.

Functional aspects of the active site architecture in the substrate-binding form are discussed and this quaternary complex structure represents a pseudo enzyme-substrate complex in the reverse reaction and consequently allows us to understand theactive site architecture of the E. coli glutathione synthetase.

The lipase gene from Pseudomonas aeruginosa TE3285 is followed by another gene, lipB, which probably proceeds to form a 1:1 complex with the inactive, solubilized lipase protein but by a different mode from known chaperones.
