Structural highlights
2qlp is a 6 chain structure with sequence from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
DCDB_MYCTU Bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes both the deamination of dCTP to dUTP and the hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP without releasing the toxic dUTP intermediate. It also acts as a dUTP diphosphatase. Affinity for dCTP and dUTP are very similar.[1]
