4.3.1.18 | Zn2+ |
the enzyme activity on D-serine decreases 20fold by EDTA treatment and recovers nearly completely by the addition of Zn2+. The hydroxyl group of D-serine directly coordinates the zinc ion, and the epsilon-NH2 group of Lys45 is a short distance from the substrate C-atom. The alpha-proton abstraction from D-serine by Lys45 and the elimination of the hydroxyl group seem to occur with the assistance of the zinc ion, resulting in the strict reaction specificity |
