The association of all four monomers allows for the catalytic activity at each possible active site.
However, this proposed catalytic activity has yet to be proven directly.
The lipids are often an essential part of the complex, even if they seem to have no catalytic activity by themselves.
The addition of other metal iodides increases its catalytic activity.
It is not an enzyme and, thus, has no catalytic activity.
In the absence of acetate, there is almost no catalytic activity.
Also, changes affecting His leave the mutant with only 0.01% of its catalytic activity.
These properties are a direct result of the activation process and contribute to a relatively high catalytic activity.
No catalytic activity occurred at 750 and 1000 C for either pure or mixed.
We have not only increased catalytic activity by a factor of 10, but also now understand how each part of the system works.
