Abstract
A new mutant pyruvate kinase (ATP: pyruvate phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) from human erythrocytes is described. The mutant enzyme shows an increased thermolability, a decreased Km value for the substrate phosphoenolpyruvate and a loss of allosteric properties during the lifespan of the erythrocytes. By comparing the previous obtained data from other
