Comments
This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family-M4 (Thermolysin family).
Although this enzyme binds three calcium ions, they are not involved in catalysis.
According to the literature [4], Glu145 might act as a general acid-base. This residue is bound to the water molecule, which is bound to the catalytic zinc ion.
As the active site is the same as the thermolysin (D00234 in EzCatDB), the catalytic mechanism must be the same.
