Pig kidney fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is a homotetrameric enzyme which does not contain tryptophan. In a previous report the guanidine hydrochlo-ride-induced unfolding of the enzyme has been described as a multistate process [Reyes, A. M., Ludwig, H. C., Yan˜ez, A. J., Rodriguez, P. H and Slebe, J.

In a previous report the guanidine hydrochloride-induced unfolding of the enzyme has been described as a multistate process Reyes A. M. Ludwig H. C. Yanez A. J. Rodriguez P. H and Slebe J. C. 2003 Biochemistry 42 6956-6964 . To monitor spectroscopically the unfolding transitions four mutants were constructed containing a single tryptophan residue either near the C1-C2 or the C1-C4 intersubunit interface of the tetramer. The mutants were shown to retain essentially all of the structural and kinetic properties of the enzyme isolated from pig kidney. The enzymatic activity intrinsic fluorescence size-exclusion chromatographic profiles and 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate binding by the mutants were studied under unfolding equilibrium conditions. The unfolding profiles were multisteps and formation of hydrophobic structures was detected. The enzymatic activity of wild-type and mutant FBPases as a function of guanidine hydrochloride concentration showed an initial enhancement maximum 30 followed by a biphasic decay. The activity and fluorescence results indicate that these transitions involve conformational changes in the fructose-1 .
