'''Triosephosphate Isomerase in Complex with DHAP'''<br />

==Overview==
In enzyme catalysis, where exquisitely positioned functionality is the, sine qua non, atomic coordinates for a Michaelis complex can provide, powerful insights into activation of the substrate. We focus here on the, initial proton transfer of the isomerization reaction catalyzed by, triosephosphate isomerase and present the crystal structure of its, Michaelis complex with the substrate dihydroxyacetone phosphate at, near-atomic resolution. The active site is highly compact, with unusually, short and bifurcated hydrogen bonds for both catalytic Glu-165 and His-95, residues. The carboxylate oxygen of the catalytic base Glu-165 is, positioned in an unprecedented close interaction with the ketone and the, alpha-hydroxy carbons of the substrate (C em leader O approximately 3.0, A), which is optimal for the proton transfer involving these centers. The, electrophile that polarizes the substrate, His-95, has close contacts to, the substrate's O1 and O2 (N em leader O &lt; or = 3.0 and 2.6 A, respectively). The substrate is conformationally relaxed in the Michaelis, complex: the phosphate group is out of the plane of the ketone group, and, the hydroxy and ketone oxygen atoms are not in the cisoid configuration., The epsilon ammonium group of the electrophilic Lys-12 is within, hydrogen-bonding distance of the substrate's ketone oxygen, the bridging, oxygen, and a terminal phosphate's oxygen, suggesting a role for this, residue in both catalysis and in controlling the flexibility of, active-site loop.
