2uxy

OverviewOverview

Microbial amidases belong to the thiol nitrilases family and have, potential biotechnological applications in chemical and pharmaceutical, industries as well as in bioremediation. The amidase from Pseudomonas, aeruginosa isa6 x 38-kDa enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a small, range of short aliphatic amides. The hereby reported high resolution, crystallographic structure shows that each amidase monomer is formed by a, globular four-layer alphabetabetaalpha sandwich domain with an additional, 81-residue long C-terminal segment. This wraps arm-in-arm with a, homologous C-terminal chain of another monomer, producing a strongly, packed dimer. In the crystal, the biological active homo-hexameric amidase, is built grouping three such dimers around a crystallographic 3-fold axis., The ... [(full description)]
