Studies on the catalytic acid/base residues of glutamate racemase

Glutamate racemase from Lactobacillus fermenti (murl, E.C. 5.1.1.3) is a cofactorindependent enzyme which catalyzes the interconversion of the enantiomers of glutamate using Cys73 and Cysl84 as the general acid/base catalysts. A cysteine thiolate abstracts the α-proton from one face of glutamate...
