... However, the catalytic effi-ciency (kcat⁄ Km) of PRTFDC1 towards hypoxanthine and guanine wasonly 0.26% and 0.09%, respectively, of that of HPRT. This low activitycould be explained by the fact ... 0.26% and 0.09%, respectively, of the activity of HPRT, the role of the PRTFDC1 in purine metabolism remainsunclear and it is uncertain whether it has the capacityto compensate for a deficiency ... Val143 and Phe194. N1, N2 and O6 of the nucleotide form hydrogen bonds to main chain atoms,whereas the side chain of Lys173 interacts with bothO6 and N7 (Fig. 1C). The 2¢OH of the ribose is hydro-gen...
