LITERATURE
by multiple anomalous diffraction
-
molecular dynamics simulations predict that K+ ions interact with residues Asp26 and/or Glu159. Crystal structure of BHMT bound to homocysteine confirms these sites of interaction and reveals further contacts between K+ ions and BHMT residues Gly27, Gln72, Gln247, and Gly298

-
dominant structural feature of wild type BHMT is an (betaalpha)8 barrel. A modeled structure of truncated BHMT suggests that this protein would assume a horseshoe fold and lack methyltransferase activity
