Abstract excerpt
Tight contact of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate to the substrate phosphate is considered to be a crucial requirement of the phosphorolytic cleavage of polysaccharides by glycogen phosphorylases. This study demonstrates an essential role of lysine 533, the only charged residue in hydrogen bond distance to...
