Abstract excerpt
Enolase is a dimeric enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of 2-phospho-D-glycerate and phosphoenolpyruvate. This reversible dehydration is effected by general acid-base catalysis that involves, principally, Lys345 and Glu211 (numbering system of enolase 1 from yeast). The crystal structure of the inactive E211Q enolase shows that the protein is properly folded. However, K345 variants have, thus far, failed...
