“…NHH/DCH for the α/β site motifs), members of the B2 subgroup only require one Zn 2+ for 75 catalysis (located in the β-site); the presence of a second metal ion leads to inhibition (1,7,15). Only a small number of B3-type MBLs have been identified, including L1 (16)(17)(18)(19)(20), FEZ-1 (21,22), AIM-1 (23)(24)(25), GOB-1 (26,27), LRA-8 (28), MIM-1 and MIM-2 (29,30). They have a structurally similar active site motif to B1 MBLs (HHH/DHH), and also require a bimetallic Zn 2+ center for optimal catalytic efficiency (1,7,13,31).…”
