Biochemistry - 7 Sept 2010
Schreier Bettina, Höcker Birte
Abstract excerpt
The glycolytic enzyme enolase catalyzes the reversible elimination of water from 2-phosphoglycerate (2-PGA) to form phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). Two magnesium ions in the active site are thought to facilitate the reaction by activation of the C2 proton of 2-PGA and charge stabilization of the inter...
