Dynamic coordination of two-metal-ions orchestrates λ-exonuclease catalysis
Metal ions at the active site of an enzyme act as cofactors and their dynamic fluctuations might influence enzyme activity. Here authors use single-molecule FRET to study λ-exonuclease and find that metal-ion-coordination is correlated with enzymatic reaction-steps.
