“…A high degree of analogy is evident, which is in strong accordance with the same catalytic role of these enzymes (1)(2)(3). According to the current model, His-96 and Asn-10 should be involved in stabilizing and polarizing the substrate by forming hydrogen bonds; Glu-166 serves to generate an intermediate of reaction for the final enolization, and Lys-12 should be involved in binding of substrate and catalysis (1,3,48). The three amino acid residues, Cys-13, -67, and -127, are considered to participate in regulation of TPI by (Figure 4 A) 16.1 177.10 93.9 fraction with the highest TPI specific activity (second chromatography, Figure 4 B S-glutathionylation, although Cys-67 is not present in pTPI (1,2,49).…”
