The high-resolution structure of dihydrodipicolinate synthase from Escherichia coli bound to its first substrate, pyruvate

摘要

The structure of E. coli dihydrodipicolinate synthase cocrystallized with oxaloacetic acid has been solved at a resolution of 2.0 Å. The structure was found to contain a pyruvate molecule bound at the active site rather than oxaloacetate.
