Mary Sue Coleman coauthored mutational analysis of active-site residues in human adenosine deaminase. Purified recombinant enzymes and variants were compared for activity, kinetic parameters, and zinc content.
A mutation can change metal binding as well as reaction chemistry. Measuring both helps distinguish loss of a catalytic interaction from loss of a correctly assembled active site.[ref]
