Abstract excerpt
Serum paraoxonases (PONs) are calcium-dependent lactonases that catalyze the hydrolysis and formation of a variety of lactones, with a clear preference for lipophilic lactones. However, the lactonase mechanism of mammalian PON1, a high density lipoprotein-associated enzyme that is the most studied family member, remains unclear, and other family members have not been examined at all. We present a kinetic and...
