Abstract excerpt
The delta 5-3-ketosteroid isomerase (EC 5.3.3.1) of Pseudomonas testosteroni promotes extremely rapid conversion of delta 5- to delta 4-3-ketosteroids by a conservative intramolecular proton transfer via an enolic intermediate. The competitive inhibitor 19-nortestosterone displays marked spectroscopic changes upon binding to the enzyme, but the mechanisms responsible for these changes have not been unequivocally...
