What are some examples of catalytic enzymes in the PDB?
The PDB contains numerous examples of catalytic enzymes, each providing insights into different types of catalytic mechanisms. Some notable examples include:
- Cytochrome P450: A family of enzymes involved in the oxidation of organic substances, playing a key role in drug metabolism. - Lysozyme: An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of bacterial cell walls, serving as a model for studying enzyme-substrate interactions. - Carbonic Anhydrase: An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide and water to bicarbonate and protons, important for maintaining pH balance in tissues.
