Zinc content of the wild type and mutant enzymes

Zinc/enzyme ratio
Added Zn(II) during dialysis (μM) Wild type R121H R121E
0 1.4 1.5 1.2
5 1.5 1.8 1.9

Protein samples (1 mL 60–80 μM) were dialyzed against 150 mL of a buffer containing 15 mM Hepes at pH 7.5 (1) treated with chelex and (2) with 5 μM added ZnSO4. Five buffer changes were performed. The values correspond to the average of two independent determinations. Standard deviations were below 10%.
