  10. Side chain interactions at the dimer interface of Vibrio alkaline phosphatase determine its reactivity, stability and desthiobiotin inhibition

    Sigríður Stefanía Hlynsdóttir 1991-2018

    Vibrio alkaline phosphatase (VAP) is a homodimeric, psychrophilic enzyme. A homodimer is, by far, the most dominant quaternary enzyme structure found in nature. It is therefore obvious that this particular structure gives the enzymes some advantage in the evolutionary race. Many suggestions have …
