Comments
According to the literature [2] & [4], the catalytic residues have been identified for this enzyme, but its catalytic mechanism has not been elucidated yet.
According to the literature [2] & [4], of the two magnesium ions bound to this enzyme, the first one, Mg2+-1, which is coordinated to the sidechain of Asp132, seems to be involved in catalysis. Moreover, the sidechains of Asp19, Asp71, Asp155 also interact with Mg2+-1 through four water molecules. According to the paper [4], Ser153 might be involved in catalysis.
