Comments
This enzyme catalyzes the following reactions:
(A) Formation of external aldimine (with amine group of the first substrate).
(B) Isomerization (change in the position of double-bond)
(C) Schiff-base deforming (by hydration), releasing the first product, and PMP.
(D) Schiff-base forming (of PMP with carbonyl group of the second substrate).
(E) Isomerization (change in the position of double-bond)
(F) Formation of internal aldimine, releasing the second product.
