Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxykinase catalyzes one of the first reactions in the biosynthesis of carbohydrates. Apart from the physiologically important reaction, the enzyme also presents low oxaloacetate decarboxylase and pyruvate kinase-like activities. Data from the crystalline structure of homologous Escherichia coli PEP carboxykinase suggest that Arg(333) may be involved in...
