Exchange mechanisms for hydrogen bonding protons of cytidylic and guanylic acids.

abstract：:Studying the evolution of catalytically promiscuous enzymes like those from the N-succinylamino acid racemase/ o-succinylbenzoate synthase (NSAR/OSBS) subfamily can reveal mechanisms by which new functions evolve. Some enzymes in this subfamily have only OSBS activity, while others catalyze OSBS and NSAR reactions. We...
