Abstract excerpt
3-Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is a two-domain hinge-bending enzyme. It is still unclear how the geometry of the active site is formed during domain closure and how the catalytic residues are brought into the optimal position for the reaction. Comparison of the three-dimensional structures in various open and closed conformations suggests a large (10 A) movement of Lys 215 during domain closure. This change...
