Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-threo-3-methylaspartate, and one product, L-glutamate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular transferases transferring other groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-threo-3-methylaspartate carboxy-aminomethylmutase. Other names in common use include glutamate mutase, glutamic mutase, glutamic isomerase, glutamic acid mutase, glutamic acid isomerase, methylaspartic acid mutase, beta-methylaspartate-glutamate mutase, and glutamate isomerase. This enzyme participates in c5-branched dibasic acid metabolism. It employs one cofactor, cobamide.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 8 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1B1A, 1BE1, 1CB7, 1CCW, 1FMF, 1I9C, 1ID8, and 2PWH.

gollark: It's *amazing* how hilariously underutilized computers are half the time. It doesn't help that most software is ridiculously wasteful.
gollark: You can exchange goods and services for money, then exchange money for goods and services.
gollark: So just buy more computers or moar cores.
