LITERATURE
K+
Km value around 0.1 mM. The presence of potassium ions lowers the apparent KM of the enzyme for homocysteine, but it does not affect the apparent KM for betaine or the apparent kcat for either substrate
Zinc
wild-type enzyme contains zinc. Mutant enzymes H338A, R346A, W352A, R361A, P362A, Y363A, N364A, P365A maintain normal or near-normal ability to bind zinc
