Find PDB structures and Computed Structure Models (CSM) by combining queries from tools in this suite: Attribute Search, Sequence Similarity, Sequence Motif, 3D Similarity, and 3D Motif with 'AND' logic.
Although L-enantiomers of amino acids are predominant in living organisms, D-enantiomers are distributed widely in bacteria, archaea and mammalian tissue. D-aspartate (D-Asp) is one of the most abundant D-enantiomers. Aspartate racemase (AspR) is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-independent amino acid racemase that catalyses the interconversion of L-Asp and D-Asp.
