Glutamic acid 461 of .beta.-galactosidase (E. coli) was replaced by gln using site-directed mutagenesis. Kinetic studies on the purified Q461-.beta.-galactosidase showed that it had < 0.4% of the wild-type activity (with ONPG as substrate), confirming order studies which have suggested that the negative charge on glu-461 is important for activity. The Km values did not increase, indicating that binding of the substrate was not decreased by this change. Thermal denaturation studies showed Q461-.beta.-galactosidase to be somewhat more susceptible to heat denaturation than the wild-type enzyme.
