More the enzyme structure comprises an N-terminal capping domain and a C-terminal (beta/alpha)7beta-barrel, and the active site is located in the barrel domain. The Mg2+ ion forms a bidentate interaction with the alpha-carbonyl group of the Glu of the substrate and the alpha-carbon center to be epimerized is located between two conserved lysine residues Escherichia coli

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution the enzyme belongs to the enolase superfamily enzymes. The enzyme reaction shows the common enolase family reaction mechanism: Mg2+-assisted general base-catalyzed abstraction of the alpha-proton of a carboxylic acid and stabilization of an enolate anion intermediate. The fate of the intermediate is determined by the active site of each enzyme to produce the specific product Escherichia coli
