Abstract

Finding an angle of attack: Structural studies of 1-aminocyclopropane-1- carboxylate (ACC) deaminase complexed with the tight-binding inhibitor 1-amino-cyclopropanephosphonate (ACP, see picture) revealed the existence of an aminyl adduct intermediate. The crystal structure of the enzyme and mutation studies suggest that the ring cleavage of ACC is initiated by nucleophilic attack by Tyr294.
