Variations on an oxidative theme: The precision with which FAD2‐type desaturases carry out CH activation reactions on flexible lipidic substrates is astonishing. The conformational space available within the active site of these enzymes has been explored using deuterium‐labeled substrates, and evidence for a novel quasi‐eclipsed conformer has been uncovered. The scheme shows some prototypical substrate
氧化主题的变化:FAD2型去饱和酶在柔性脂质底物上进行CH活化反应的精度令人惊讶。已经使用
氘标记的底物探索了这些酶活性位点中可用的构象空间,并且已经发现了新的半蚀构象异构体的证据。该方案显示了一些原型底物构象。
