(Glcalpha(1-4))n + H2O = (Glcalpha(1-4))n-4 + (Glcalpha(1-4))4 | stepwise reaction mechanism, the first step is the proton transfer from N423 to D766, and the second step involves the hydrolysis reaction via the inversion mechanism catalyzed by the amide group of N423. Assisted by D766, N423 serves as the general base to activate the water molecule to attack the anomeric carbon center. E566 is the general acid to facilitate the cleavage of glycosidic bond between L-fucose and galactose units. The intrinsic resonance structure for the side chain amide group of the asparagine residue is the origin to the catalytic activity | Bifidobacterium bifidum |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | the enzyme belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase family 29, GH29, of retaining fucosidases | Bifidobacterium bifidum |
additional information | the side chain amide group of the asparagine residue, N423, is proposed to act as the general base to activate this water nucleophile, with assistance provided by a nearby D766. In the crystal structure, the D766 is hydrogen bonds with the N423 | Bifidobacterium bifidum |
