Conformational plasticity of glycogenin and its maltosaccharide substrate during glycogen biogenesis.

abstract：:The guanidinium group of arginine-166 has been postulated to act as an electrophilic species during phosphorylation of alkaline phosphatase. Its role could be either to stabilize the developing negative charge on the oxygen of the leaving group or the pentacoordinate transition state or to help bind the -PO2-3 group. ...
