catalytic triad has been identified (how?). To elucidate any functional similarity between 2pbl and 2c7b, conservation of the catalytic triad was assessed (see figure ...). Note: the clustalW alignment was found to differ from the alignment provided as part of the DALI results. All three residues were found to be conserved, though H... and E... were found to match is less conserved regions. Thus, it is possible that such conservation is the result of a chance or poor alignment. This might be explained by the poor sequence similarity between 2c7b and 2pdb (16%).

Evidence from Similar Sequences

- Catalytic triad identified in paper - Ser162, Asp247, and His279.

- To assess functional similarity, conservation of the catalytic triad was analysed.

ClustalW alignment showing conservation of the catalytic triad between Arylformamidase and 2pbl.
