The reactions catalyzed by enzymes in the enolase superfamily share the core chemical step of an abstraction of a proton from a carbon adjacent to a carboxylic acid and a requirement of a divalent metal ion. In contrast to many recognized families of enzymes whose members catalyze similar reactions on different substrates, the enolase superfamily includes enzymes catalyzing a wide variety of reactions and performing diverse roles in metabolism. == Members == * enolase * mandelate racemase (MR) * muconate lactonizing enzyme (MLE) The primary sequences of MR and MLE, approximately 25% identical, are related but significantly different; whereas their three-dimensional structures are similar. The enzyme enolase has a more distant, but nevertheless clear, relationship to MLE and MR. The enolase superfamily has served as a model superfamily for understanding enzyme function and is one of the protein families under study by the Enzyme Function Initiative (EFI). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Enolase superfamily」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
