Acetyl group coordinated progression through the catalytic cycle of an arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase.

The transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to an acceptor amine is a ubiquitous biochemical transformation catalyzed by Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferases (GNATs). Although it is established that the reaction proceeds through a sequential ordered mechanism, the role of the acetyl group in drivin...
