to adapt to the absent pyrophosphate group in NADH. Significantly, Gly lacks a side chain since no interaction is necessary due to the absent phosphate group in NADH. In addition, the mutation results in the reduction of cofactor Ka and kcat.

The <scene name='2010_Pingry_SMART_Team/1m9h_original/20'>Phe22Tyr mutation</scene> reduces the Km for both NADPH and NADH. A reduced Km creates a more efficient enzyme at a lower substrate level, therefore, improving the enzyme. The Arg238His mutation forms a pi-stacking interaction to stabilize the AKR with the cofactor. A pi-stacking interaction is extremely stable and the pi bonds are perpendicular. A common source for pi-stacking is in DNA. The <scene name='2010_Pingry_SMART_Team/1m9h_original/5'>Ala272Gly mutation</scene> mutation improves the kinetic properties by making it easier for the substrate to bind with the substrate and by improving the kinetics of cofactor binding and release.
