Abstract excerpt
Both serine hydroxymethyltransferase and aspartate aminotransferase belong to the alpha-class of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (pyridoxalP)-dependent enzymes but exhibit different reaction and substrate specificities. A comparison of the X-ray structure of these two enzymes reveals that their active sites are nearly superimposable. In an attempt to change the reaction specificity of serine hydroxymethyltransferase to a...
