Revision as of 10:58, 24 December 2015 by Michal Harel (talk | contribs)

Dethiobiotin synthetase (DTBS) catalyzes the first ring closure in the biotin synthesis. The reaction transforms 7,8-diaminononanoate (DAN), ATP and CO2 to dethiobiotin (DTB), ADP and phosphate.[1]

Structural highlights

The active site contains the substrate, Mg+2 ion and ADP.
