In the first phase of the enzymatic reaction, the nucleophilic attack of carboxylate of cysteine onto the phosphate of ATP leads to the formation of the cysteine-adenylate intermediate releasing inorganic diphosphate. This cysteine-adenylate intermediate is attacked by the amine of GlcN-Ins to form Cys-GlcN-Ins and in the process releases AMP, which completes the second phase of the enzymatic reaction, overview. During this stage, the reacting substrates and coenzymes are held in place by the amino acid residues W227, H55, T46, and D251 -, 744634
