X-ray structure of 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase complexed with the inhibitor levulinic acid
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 10194344
Function
[HEM2_ECOLI] Catalyzes an early step in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles. Binds two molecules of 5-aminolevulinate per subunit, each at a distinct site, and catalyzes their condensation to form porphobilinogen.
