GH4 enzymes are unique in their requirement for NAD(H) and a divalent metal for activity. We have determined the crystal structure of GlvA in complex with its ligands to 2.05 Angstrom resolution. Analyses of the active site architecture, in conjunction with mechanistic studies and precedent from the nucleotide diphosphate hexose dehydratases and other systems, suggest a novel mechanism of glycoside hydrolysis by GlvA that involves both the NAD(H) and the metal.}, issn = {0969-2126}, doi = {10.1016/j.str.2004.06.020}, author = {Rajan, SS and Yang, XJ and Collart, F and Yip, VLY and Withers, SG and Varrot, A and Thompson, J and Davies, GJ and Anderson, WF} }
