How would I explain different properties of the same protein in different species? Some very good ideas, thank you! Another interesting thing I forgot to mention, is that I found evidence of substrate inhibiton of C. albicans at about 1mM ATP concentration. Perhaps this would add some valuable knowledge to the evolutionary relationship between these orthologs? |

How would I explain different properties of the same protein in different species? Do you know any databases where I could find the amino acid sequences of these protein orthologs? |

How would I explain different properties of the same protein in different species? (i) I used an NADH-PK Linked Assay where I looked at the absorbance decrease when NADH is oxidized to NAD+. They were all pure proteins. (see: NADH-coupled microplate photometric assay for kinetic studies of ATP-hydrolyzing enzymes with low and high specific activities) (ii) All the Km values were different, ranging from 2mM-4mM and I used ATP concentrations ranging from 0mM to 10mM. |

How would I explain different properties of the same protein in different species? Yep, it was done in vitro. |
