Importance of hydrophobic cavities in allosteric regulation of formylglycinamide synthetase: insight from xenon trapping and statistical coupling analysis.

Formylglycinamide ribonucleotide amidotransferase (FGAR-AT) is a 140 kDa bi-functional enzyme involved in a coupled reaction, where the glutaminase active site produces ammonia that is subsequently utilized to convert FGAR to its corresponding amidine in an ATP assisted fashion. The structure of FGA...
