Abstract excerpt
The pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzymes have been evolved to catalyze diverse substrates and to cause the reaction to vary. 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase catalyzes the cyclopropane ring-opening reaction followed by deamination specifically. Since it was discovered in 1978, the enzyme has been widely investigated from the mechanistic and physiological viewpoints because the substrate is a...
