Biochemical Characterization of an Acetylcholine-hydrolyzing Enzyme from Bean Seedlings.

abstract：:The triphosphate tunnel metalloenzyme (TTM) superfamily comprises a group of enzymes that hydrolyze organophosphate substrates. They exist in all domains of life, yet the biological role of most family members is unclear. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) encodes three TTM genes. We have previously reported that AtTT...
