Description | Biotin, which plays a catalytic role in some carboxyl transfer reactions, is covalently attached, via an amide bond, to a lysine residue in enzymes requiring this coenzyme [ , , , ]. Sequence data reveal that the region around the biocytin (biotin-lysine) residue is well conserved and is evolutionary related to that around the lipoyl-binding lysine residue of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase acyltransferases. | Name | Biotin-binding site |
Short Name | Biotin_BS | Type | Binding_site |
