Abstract excerpt
Phytochelatin (PC) synthase has been assumed to be a gamma-glutamylcysteine dipeptidyl transpeptidase (EC 2.3.2.15) and, more recently, as exemplified by analyses of the immunopurified recombinant enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtPCS1-FLAG), has been shown to catalyze a PC synthetic reaction with kinetics that approximates a bisubstrate-substituted enzyme mechanism in which millimolar concentrations of free...
