Crystal structure of dipeptide epimerase from Thermotoga maritima complexed with L-Ala-L-Leu dipeptideCrystal structure of dipeptide epimerase from Thermotoga maritima complexed with L-Ala-L-Leu dipeptide
Structural highlights
3deq is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Thermotoga maritima MSB8. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
AEEP_THEMA Catalyzes the epimerization of L-Ala-D-Glu to L-Ala-L-Glu and has probably a role in the metabolism of the murein peptide, of which L-Ala-D-Glu is a component. Is also able to catalyze the reverse reaction and the epimerization of a broad range of other dipeptides; is most efficient with L-Ala-D/L-Phe, L-Ala-D/L-Tyr, and L-Ala-D/L-His.[1]
