More | the enzyme structure comprises an N-terminal capping domain and a C-terminal (beta/alpha)7beta-barrel, and the active site is located in the barrel domain. The Mg2+ ion forms a bidentate interaction with the alpha-carbonyl group of the Glu of the substrate and the alpha-carbon center to be epimerized is located between two conserved lysine residues | Escherichia coli |

evolution | the enzyme belongs to the enolase superfamily enzymes. The enzyme reaction shows the common enolase family reaction mechanism: Mg2+-assisted general base-catalyzed abstraction of the alpha-proton of a carboxylic acid and stabilization of an enolate anion intermediate. The fate of the intermediate is determined by the active site of each enzyme to produce the specific product | Escherichia coli |
