The <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_714/Cter_activesite/3'>active site</scene> is made of five residues. The 3D structure of this active site is maintained by hydrogen bonds, including those created by D496. The two tyrosines (Y383 and Y466) assist the proper positioning of the substrate by polarizing it, thanks to their hydroxyl groups. D335 acts as a nucleophilic acid. Finally, H524 plays the role of a base in order to release the final product. | + | The C-terminal domain is called Cytosolic epoxide hydrolase 2: it catalyzes the trans-addition of water to epoxides in order to product glycols<ref>PMID:15822179</ref>. |

The reaction proceeds in two steps, including the formation of a covalent intermediate. | The reaction proceeds in two steps, including the formation of a covalent intermediate. | ||
First, the substrate (epoxide) is accepted in the active site and its oxygen forms hydrogen bonds with Y383 and Y466. The oxygen of D335 attacks one of the two carbons included in the epoxide function. As a result, the oxygen of the subtrate takes the hydrogen of the hydroxyl function of Y466: the covalent intermediate is formed, and linked to D335. | First, the substrate (epoxide) is accepted in the active site and its oxygen forms hydrogen bonds with Y383 and Y466.

Then, the oxygen negatively charged belonging to the lateral chain of Y383 attacks the hydrogen of H524. After that, a water molecule enters the active site. The hydroxyl of D335 is therefore renewed, the diol product is created and released. The active site is available for a new catalytic cycle. | Then, the oxygen negatively charged belonging to the lateral chain of Y383 attacks the hydrogen of H524.
