Popis: Yeast enolase is inactivated by tetranitromethane with production of 1.2 moles of nitrotyrosine per subunit. Protection is afforded by “conformational” metal ion alone. Enzyme thus inactivated no longer appears to bind “conformational” metal ion. There is evidence against direct coordination of the tyrosine to “conformational” metal ion, suggesting modification of the tyrosyl may obstruct the binding site.
