Tóm tắt

The LarA family consists of diverse racemases/epimerases that interconvert the diastereomers of α-hydroxyacids by using a nickel-pincer nucleotide (NPN) cofactor. The hidden redox reaction catalyzed by the NPN cofactor makes LarA enzymes attractive engineering targets for various applications. However, how a LarA enzyme binds its natural substrate and recognizes different α-hydroxyacids has not been elucidated. Here, we report three high-resolution structures of the enzyme-substrate complexes of a broad-spectrum LarA enzyme from
