<StructureSection load='1one' size=' | <StructureSection load='1one' size='350' side='right' caption='Yeast enolase dimer complex with phosphoenolpyruvate and phosphoglycerate, [[1one]]' scene='Enolase/Enolase/1'><scene name='Cory_Tiedeman_Sandbox_1/Enolase/1'>Enolase</scene> is an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction of glycolysis. [[Glycolysis]] converts glucose into two 3-carbon molecules called pyruvate. The energy released during glycolysis is used to make ATP.<ref>{{textbook |author=Voet, Donald; Voet, Judith C.; Pratt, Charlotte W.|title=Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Life at the Molecular Level|edition= 3|pages=487|}}</ref> Enolase is used to convert 2-phosphoglycerate (2PG) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in the 9th reaction of glycolysis: it is a reversible dehydration reaction.<ref>{{textbook |author=Voet, Donald; Voet, Judith C.; Pratt, Charlotte W.|title=Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Life at the Molecular Level|edition= 3|pages=500|}}</ref>. Enolase is expressed abundantly in most cells and has been proven useful as a model to study mechanisms of enzyme action and structural analysis <ref>{{journal}}</ref>. As with the reaction below, Enolase must have a divalent metal cation present to activate or deactivate the enzyme. The best cofactor would be Mg2+, but many, including Zn2+, Mn2+ and Co2+ can be used. The metal ion works by binding to the enzyme at the active site and producing a conformational change. This makes it possible for the substrate (2-PGA) to bind at the Enolase active site. Once this happens, a second metal ion comes in and binds to the enzyme to activate the enolase catalytic ability. See [[Glycolysis Enzymes]]. For sequence alignment see [[Enolase multiple sequence alignment]]. | ||

The substrate, 2PG, binds to the two <scene name='Cory_Tiedeman_Sandbox_1/Mechanism/4'>Mg2+'s, Glu 211, and Lys 345</scene>. The Mg 2+ then forms a bond at the deprotonated carboxylic acid on the 1'C to connect it with enolase. It also is connects to Glu 211 and Lys 345. Glu 211 makes a hydrogen bond with the alcohol group on the 3'C. Lys 345 deprotonates the 2'C and then the 2'C forms an alkene with the 1'C which then moves the electrons forming the ketone onto the oxygen making it have a negative charge. The other oxygen, which already has a negative charge, then moves its electron to form a ketone with the 1'C. The electrons that made up the alkene between the 1'C adn 2'C then moves to form an alkene between the 2'C and 3'C. This breaks the bond with the alcohol on the 3'C which deprotonates Glu 211 on enolase to form H2O. Then the new molecule is released from enolase as PEP. PEP then goes on through another step in glycolysis to create pyruvate. | The substrate, 2PG, binds to the two <scene name='Cory_Tiedeman_Sandbox_1/Mechanism/4'>Mg2+'s, Glu 211, and Lys 345</scene>.
