LITERATURE
malfunction
removal of two zinc ions at the bottom of two putative active-site clefts in the propeller and the cupin domains leads to loss of enzymatic activity, although the structure of the Zn2+-depleted enzyme is very similar to that of native AUDH
physiological function
the bifunctional enzyme aldos-2-ulose dehydratase/isomerase participates in carbohydrate secondary metabolism, catalyzing the conversion of glucosone and 1,5-D-anhydrofructose to the secondary metabolites cortalcerone and microthecin, respectively
