Abstract excerpt
Cystathionine beta-synthase plays a key role in the intracellular disposal of homocysteine and is the single most common locus of mutations associated with homocystinuria. Elevated levels of homocysteine are correlated with heart disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and neural tube defects. Cystathionine beta-synthase is modular and subjected to complex regulation, but insights into the structural basis...
