Protein-serine epimerase

In enzymology, a protein-serine epimerase (EC number|5.1.1.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

: [protein] -L-serine $ightleftharpoons$ [protein] -D-serine

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, [protein] -L-serine, and one product, [protein] -D-serine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those racemases and epimerases acting on amino acids and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is [protein] -serine epimerase. This enzyme is also called protein-serine racemase.

tructural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code PDB link|1WTC.
