Abstract excerpt
Wild-type meso-diaminopimelate dehydrogenase (DAPDH) is usually specific to the native substrate, meso-2,6-diaminopimelate. Recently, a DAPDH from Symbiobacterium thermophilum (StDAPDH) was found to exhibit expanded substrate specificity. As such, its crystal structures in apo form and in complex with NADP(+) and both NADPH and meso-DAP were investigated to reveal the structural basis of its unique catalytic...
