abstract：:Lactate racemase is the first enzyme known to possess a metal pincer active site. The enzyme interconverts d- and l-lactic acid, which is important for the assembly of cell walls in many microorganisms. Here, we report a synthetic model of the active site of lactate racemase, which features a pyridinium-based SCS pinc...
