Crystal structure of dethiobiotin synthetase in Mycobacterium tuberculosisCrystal structure of dethiobiotin synthetase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Structural highlights
3fgn is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
BIOD_MYCTU Catalyzes a mechanistically unusual reaction, the ATP-dependent insertion of CO2 between the N7 and N8 nitrogen atoms of 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid (DAPA) to form an ureido ring.[1]
