Abstract excerpt
KSI (ketosteroid isomerase) catalyses an allylic isomerization reaction at a diffusion-controlled rate. A hydrogen bond network, Asp(99).Water(504).Tyr(14).Tyr(55).Tyr(30), connects two critical catalytic residues, Tyr(14) and Asp(99), with Tyr(30), Tyr(55) and a water molecule in the highly apolar active site of the Pseudomonas putida KSI. In order to characterize the interactions among these amino acids in the...
