Abstract excerpt
Biotin carboxylase from Escherichia coli catalyzes the ATP-dependent carboxylation of biotin and is one component of the multienzyme complex acetyl-CoA carboxylase, which catalyzes the committed step in long-chain fatty acid synthesis. Comparison of the crystal structures of biotin carboxylase in the absence and presence of ATP showed a central B-domain closure when ATP was bound. Peptidic NH groups from two...
