Crystal structure of 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid synthaseCrystal structure of 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid synthase
Structural highlights
1qj5 is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
BIOA_ECOLI Catalyzes the transfer of the alpha-amino group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to 7-keto-8-aminopelargonic acid (KAPA) to form 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid (DAPA). It is the only animotransferase known to utilize SAM as an amino donor.[1]
