Fig. 5. Mechanistic features of yTS. a, drawing of the modeled external aldimine between OPHS and PLP (light gray). Hydrogen bonds and interatomic distances (Å) relevant for substrate binding are indicated. b, mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by yTS where the substrate OPHS is converted to inorganic phosphate and threonine. The precise electron movements are indicated with arrows.
