Abstract
Directed mutagenesis and molecular modelling have been used to identify a set of amino-acid side chains in glutathione reductase that confer specificity for the coenzyme NADP+. Systematic replacement of these amino acids, all of which occur in a 'fingerprint' structural motif in the NADP+-binding domain, leaves the substrate specificity unchanged but converts the enzyme into one displaying a marked preference for the coenzyme NAD+.Entities:
