Introduction
Structure
is a homodimer of its . The A chain is comprised of 429 residues, and with a molecular weight of 51.7 kDa. [1]
The shows the 23 alpha helices (blue-gray) comprise the vast majority of the protein. In contrast, there is only one small anti-parallel beta sheet (orange) per subunit.
The in the backbone are shown in green.
The are shown in grey. The are in pink.
Solvent Interaction
The are shown in blue, the protein in cream and the ligand in a light purple. The water interaction (with the same color designations) are similar in the .
Active Site
The are depicted in ball in stick and the rest of the protein is in ribbon diagram. The is shown in pink. The are shown in black.
Mechanism of Action
The condensation reaction has been proposed to involve two concerted general acid-base catalysis steps, meaning the catalytic residues serve as the general acids and bases needed. The mechanism is also seen to proceed through an enol (rather than an enolate) intermediate, and exhibit an inversion of sterochemistry at the nucleophilic carbon atom [2].
