Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine evidence that inhibitors of enzyme could be effective therapeutic agents in treatment of many human cancers Rattus norvegicus

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
expression in Escherichia coli Rattus norvegicus

Metals/Ions

Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Cd2+ substitution of the active site zinc with cadmium increases the affinity of the peptide substrate and decreases the rate constant for the chemical step Rattus norvegicus
Mg2+ magnesium is not required for formation of the thioether product but the presence increases the single-turnover rate constant by several orders of magnitude at saturating enzyme and substrate concentrations Rattus norvegicus
Mg2+ appears to coordinate the diphosphate moiety of farnesyl diphosphate Rattus norvegicus
additional information a metal-assisted nucleophile is involved in the catalytic mechanism of enzyme Rattus norvegicus
Zn2+ zinc metalloenzyme Rattus norvegicus
