TPI carries out the isomerization reaction through an acid-base-mediated mechanism involving '''three catalytic residues''' (<scene name='Triose_Phosphate_Isomerase/Three_catalytic_residues/6'>restore initial scene</scene>), each of which <scene name='Triose_Phosphate_Isomerase/Three_catalytic_residues/14'>contacts the substrate</scene>. First, the DHAP or GAP substrate is initially attracted to the enzyme active site through '''electrostatic interactions''' between the negatively charged phosphate group of the substrate and the positively charged '''Lys12''', | TPI carries out the isomerization reaction through an acid-base-mediated mechanism involving '''three catalytic residues''' (<scene name='Triose_Phosphate_Isomerase/Three_catalytic_residues/6'>restore initial scene</scene>), each of which <scene name='Triose_Phosphate_Isomerase/Three_catalytic_residues/14'>contacts the substrate</scene>.
