Human Serine Racemase: Key Residues/Active Site Motifs and Their Relation to Enzyme Function
Serine racemase (SR) is the first racemase enzyme to be identified in human biology and converts L-serine to D-serine, an important neuronal signaling molecule that serves as a co-agonist of the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor. This overview describes key molecular features of the enzyme, focus...
