Abstract
⺠The crystal structure of the hyperthermophilic UDP-galactose 4-epimerase (GalE) was determined. ⺠The hydrophobic inter-subunit interaction is responsible for the enzyme stability. ⺠The loop responsible for the tight binding of NAD to the enzyme was identified. ⺠This is the first report on the structure of a GalE in a hyperthermophile.
