Mechanistic and inhibition studies of the agmatine deiminase found in Listeria monocytogenes reveal a novel catalytic mechanism for the guanidinium-modifying enzyme superfamily. The results of the present study suggest that a new class of mechanism-based inactivators is needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
