Crystal structure of aspartate decarboxylase at 2.2 A resolution provides evidence for an ester in protein self-processing.
The structure of L-aspartate-alpha-decarboxylase from E. coli has been determined at 2.2 A resolution. The enzyme is a tetramer with pseudofour-fold rotational symmetry. The subunits are six-stranded beta-barrels capped by small alpha-helices at each end. The active sites are located between adjacen...
