Abstract excerpt
The primary structure is known for at least 29 thymidylate synthases and the crystal structure is known for several from both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. All these are markedly similar making thymidylate synthase one of the most highly conserved enzymes known. There are, however, two surface loops, one near the active site and the other near the dimer interface, which exist in distinctly prokaryotic and...
