Spermidine Synthase
From Proteopedia
Under construction!
Polyamines are essential in all branches of life. Spermidine synthase (putrescine aminopropyltransferase, PAPT) catalyzes the biosynthesis of spermidine, a ubiquitous polyamine.
1inl - The crystal structure of the PAPT from Thermotoga maritima (TmPAPT) has been solved to 1.5 A resolution.
The structure of TmPAPT in a complex with adoDATO (1jq3) can also be found on this site.
Created with the participation of Lindsey Butler.
