Substrate Specificity and Structure-Function Analysis of Bacterial Glyoxalase I Enzymes
The glyoxalase pathway is widespread in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. This system utilizes two enzymes (glyoxalase I (GlxI) and glyoxalase II (GlxII)) to catalyze the formation of D-lactate from the substrates glutathione (GSH) and methylglyoxal (MG). The latter chemical is a harmful by...
