Structural highlights
3fkr is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Azospirillum brasilense. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
[Q1JUQ0_AZOBR] Catalyzes the dehydration of L-2-keto-3-deoxyarabonate (L-KDA) to alpha-ketoglutaric semialdehyde (alphaKGSA). Is involved in a degradation pathway of L-arabinose that allows A.brasilense to grow on L-arabinose as a sole carbon source.[1]
