Abstract excerpt
The non-heme ferrous dependent oxidase isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) catalyses the biosynthesis of isopenicillin N from a tripeptide substrate. The crystal structure of Aspergillus nidulans IPNS complexed to manganese reveals a six co-ordinate metal ligated by two water molecules and four protein ligands: His-214, His-270, Asp-216 and Gln-330 (the penultimate C-terminal residue). Modification of Gln-330 to Ala...
