Structure of the E.coli aspartate transcarbamoylase trapped in the middle of the catalytic cycle.

Abstract excerpt

Snapshots of the catalytic cycle of the allosteric enzyme aspartate transcarbamoylase have been obtained via X-ray crystallography. The enzyme in the high-activity high-affinity R state contains two catalytic chains in the asymmetric unit that are different. The active site in one chain is empty, while the active site in the other chain contains an analog of the first substrate to bind in the ordered mechanism of...
