5.1.1.3 | L-glutamate = D-glutamate |
the enzyme uses a two-base mechanism in which two Cys thiolates serve as the general base/acid catalysts. An initial deprotonation event produces a resonance-stabilized carbanionic intermediate that is subsequently protonated on the opposite face to generate the enantiomeric product |

two base mechanism, removal of alpha-hydrogen is the rate determining step |

5.1.1.3 | L-glutamate = D-glutamate |
deprotonation/protonation mechanism for racemization in which the breaking of the carbon-hydrogen bond at C-2 is partially rate-determining |

5.1.1.3 | L-glutamate = D-glutamate |
deprotonation/protonation mechanism. Two-base mechanism in which one enzymic base deprotonates the substrate, and the conjugate acid of a second enzymic base protonates the resulting intermediate from the opposite face |

5.1.1.3 | L-glutamate = D-glutamate |
initial step is the proton abstraction from the substrate alpha-carbon atom, which is mediated by an amino acid residue in the enzyme protein |

5.1.1.3 | L-glutamate = D-glutamate |
the enzyme uses a two-base mechanism involving a deprotonation of the substrate at the alpha-position to form an anionic intermediate, followed by a reprotonation in the opposite stereochemical sense. Cys73 is responsible for the deprotonation of D-glutamate and Cys184 is responsible for the deprotonation of L-glutamate |

5.1.1.3 | L-glutamate = D-glutamate |
glutamate racemase faces the difficult task of deprotonating a relatively low acidicity proton, the amino acids R-hydrogen, with a relatively poor base, a cysteine. The titration curves and the pK1/2 values of all of the ionizable residues for different structures leading from reactants to products are analyzed. From these results a concerted mechanism is proposed in which the Cys70 residue deprotonates the R-hydrogen of the substrate while, at the same time, being deprotonated by the Asp7 residue |
