Investigating the catalytic and regulatory mechanisms of dihydrodipicolinate synthase.
Dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS, E.C. 4.2.1.52) catalyses the branchpoint reaction of lysine biosynthesis in plants and microbes-the condensation of (S)-aspartate-β-semialdehyde ((S)-ASA) and pyruvate. In an attempt to better understand the reaction catalysed by DHDPS, the wild-type enzyme was...
