additional information
analysis of the structure-function relationship, overview. Lys241 is a key amino acid residue, active site structure of ACL racemase. The substrate binding site is typically located between Trp49 and Tyr137. Lys241 Nepsilon is considered to be important for recognizing the carbonyl O of the substrate. Lys241 also forms a salt bridge with Glu396. Asp210 and Lys267 are two plausible acid/base catalytic candidate residues, situated on the re and si faces of the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate ring, respectively. The racemization of ACL racemase proceeds via a two-base mechanism
