Abstract excerpt
GDP-mannose hydrolase (GDPMH) catalyzes the hydrolysis of GDP-alpha-d-sugars by nucleophilic substitution with inversion at the anomeric C1 atom of the sugar, with general base catalysis by H124. Three lines of evidence indicate a mechanism with dissociative character. First, in the 1.3 A X-ray structure of the GDPMH-Mg(2+)-GDP.Tris(+) complex [Gabelli, S. B., et al. (2004) Structure 12, 927-935], the GDP leaving...
