Succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) from Thermus aquaticus was characterized biochemically via measurements of the activity of the enzyme and determination of its quaternary structure as well as its stability and refolding properties. The enzyme is most active between pH 8.0 and 8.4 and its activity increases with temperature to about 339 K. Gel-filtration chromatography and sedimentation equilibrium under native conditions demonstrated that the enzyme is a heterotetramer of two α-subunits and two β-s ...[more]
