5.1.1.3 D-glutamate catalytic action of glutamate racemase is driven by its own substrate, D-glutamate 5.1.1.3 D-glutamate enzyme catalyzes the formation of D-glutamate from L-glutamate through a 1,1-proton transfer mechanism which reversibly inverts the stereochemistry at the alpha-carbon of glutamate 5.1.1.3 L-2-aminoadipic acid - 5.1.1.3 L-Glu glutamate racemase is mainly concerned in D-Glu synthesis for poly-gamma-glutamate production 5.1.1.3 L-Glu the biosynthesis of D-Glu, one of the essential components of bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan, is catalyzed by glutamate racemase 5.1.1.3 L-glutamate - 5.1.1.3 L-glutamate the enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of D-glutamate, an essential building block of the peptidoglycan layer in bacterial cell walls 5.1.1.3 L-glutamate enzyme catalyzes the formation of D-glutamate from L-glutamate through a 1,1-proton transfer mechanism which reversibly inverts the stereochemistry at the alpha-carbon of glutamate 5.1.1.3 additional information the enzyme is an endogenous DNA gyrase inhibitor 5.1.1.3 additional information enzyme exhibits both racemization activity and DNA gyrase inhibition. The two activities are unlinked and independent of each other. Enzyme-DNA gyrase interaction influences gyrase activity but has no effect on the racemization activity
