Reaction

EC Number Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
4.2.1.24 2 5-aminolevulinate = porphobilinogen + 2 H2O reaction mechanism involving asymmetric addition and cyclization of two 5-aminolevulinate molecules, modeling, detailed overview. The active site consists of several invariant residues, including two lysyl residues Lys210 and Lys263 that bind the two substrate moieties as Schiff bases, active site structure and substrate binding, overview. The intersubstrate C-N bond is formed first have a rate-limiting barrier that is lower than those in which the intersubstrate C-C bond is formed first Saccharomyces cerevisiae
