Nickel pincer model of the active site of lactate racemase involves ligand participation in hydride transfer.

abstract：:Membrane receptors regulate numerous intracellular functions. However, the molecular underpinnings remain poorly understood because most receptors initiate multiple signaling pathways through distinct interaction interfaces that are structurally uncharacterized.
