identification of residues involved in the ligand-enzyme interaction, homology modeling: the carbonyl group of hexadienoyl-CoA forms H-bonds with Ala32, Gly34, Val36 and Gly83. Phosphate groups of the substrate form two ionic bonds with Arg28. The enzyme shows few distinct structural changes which include structural variation in the mobile loop, formation and loss of certain interactions between the active site residues and substrates. AMECH is a monofunctional enzyme and has one catalytic glutamic acid Glu106, an essential catalytic residue. Asp114 might also be involved in the reaction mechanism, overview |
