Because of its relative simplicity, homology with important eukaryotic enzymes and important metabolic influence, fumarase has been the object of much study. However, upon analysis of fumarase, it was found that there were two "active" sites and much debate has arisen regarding which is the most influential or "true" one. This article describes the debate and the process used to determine the true active site. |
