Tryptophan 16-26 betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase Homo sapiens 158-162 15122900-6 2004 Mutation of each of the seven tryptophan residues in human BHMT provides evidence that the enzyme undergoes two distinct conformational changes that are reflected in the fluorescence of the enzyme. Tryptophan 30-40 betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase Homo sapiens 59-63 15122900-0 2004 Dissecting the catalytic mechanism of betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase by use of intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence and site-directed mutagenesis. Tryptophan 99-109 betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase Homo sapiens 38-78 15122900-3 2004 Using changes in intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence to determine the affinity of human BHMT for substrates, products, or CBHcy, we now demonstrate that the enzyme-substrate complex reaches its transition state through an ordered bi-bi mechanism in which Hcy is the first substrate to bind and Met is the last product released. Tryptophan 27-37 betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase Homo sapiens 86-90
