Abstract excerpt
GDP-mannose hydrolase catalyzes the hydrolysis with inversion of GDP-alpha-D-hexose to GDP and beta-D-hexose by nucleophilic substitution by water at C1 of the sugar. Two new crystal structures (free enzyme and enzyme-substrate complex), NMR, and site-directed mutagenesis data, combined with the structure of the enzyme-product complex reported earlier, suggest a four-stage catalytic cycle. An important loop (L6,...
