additional information | Mus musculus | major cellular function of glycolase I is the inactivation of methylglyoxal, a toxic by-product of the triose phosphate isomerase reaction of glycolysis | ? | - |
? | |
additional information | Mus musculus | reaction involves abstraction of a proton from carbon 1 and reinsertion of the proton at carbon 2. Proton transfer takes place with limited proton exchange with the surrounding medium, and a hydride transfer is involved. In the absence of substrate or product, the metal is coordinated with 2 water molecules in addition to the side chains of Gln33 and Glu99 in the same subunit and His126 and Glu172 from the neighbouring subunit. During the catalytic process the water molecule are displaced by the incoming substrate. Glu172 serves as the acid-base in the catalytic mechanism. | ? | - |
