Atomic structure of acetylcholinesterase from Torpedo californica: a prototypic acetylcholine-binding protein
Joel L. Sussman,Michal Harel,Felix Frolow,Christian Oefner,Adrian Goldman,Lilly Toker,Israel Silman +6 more
TL;DR: Modeling of acetylcholine binding to the enzyme suggests that the quaternary ammonium ion is bound not to a negatively charged "anionic" site, but rather to some of the 14 aromatic residues that line the gorge.

TL;DR: The X-ray structure of the Mucor miehei triglyceride lipase is reported and the atomic model obtained reveals a Ser .. His .. Asp trypsin-like catalytic triad with an active serine buried under a short helical fragment of a long surface loop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of human pancreatic lipase
TL;DR: The structural results are evidence that Ser 152 is the nucleophilic residue essential for catalysis, located in the larger N-terminal domain at the C- terminal edge of a doubly wound parallel β-sheet and part of an Asp-His-Ser triad, which is chemically analogous to, but structurally different from, that in the serine proteases.

Identification of three classes of cytosolic glutathione transferase common to several mammalian species: correlation between structural data and enzymatic properties.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the similarities of the isoenzymes in a class reflect evolutionary relationships and that the classification applies generally.
