Abstract excerpt
Chloride-dependent α-amylases, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and photosystem II (PSII) are activated by bound chloride. Chloride-binding sites in these enzymes contain a positively charged Arg or Lys residue crucial for chloride binding. In α-amylases and ACE, removal of chloride from the binding site triggers formation of a salt bridge between the positively charged Arg or Lys residue involved in chloride...
