Abstract excerpt
The amidohydrolase superfamily comprises hundreds of hydrolytic enzymes of the (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold with mono- or binuclear active-site metal centers, and a diverse spectrum of substrates and reactions. Promiscuous activities, or cross-reactivities, between different members of the same superfamily may provide important hints regarding evolutionary and mechanistic relationships. We examined three members:...
