Table 4. Dissociation constants for wild-type and mutant HhaI DNA methyltransferases as determined by fluorescence quenching and ITC studies.
Enzyme | Dissociation constant, Kd (µM) | |
---|---|---|
Fluorescencea | ITC | |
Wild-type | 4.5 | 6.34 |
F18C | 0.76 | ND |
F18L | 1.28 | ND |
F18Y | 2.45 | ND |
W41I | ND | 12.8 |
W41Y | ND | 12.1 |
aFluorescence measurements were not performed with the Trp41 mutants as M.HhaI has a single Trp residue, the loss of which results in decreased fluorescence.
ND, not determined.
