Phosphoglycerate mutase (2,3-diphosphoglycerate-dependent)
Phosphoglycerate mutase (EC:5.4.2.11) from vertebrates, platyhelminths, mollusks, annelids, crustaceans, insects, algae, fungi, yeast and some bacteria (particularly Gram-negative) interconverts 2-phosphoglycerate and 3-phosphoglycerate via a transiently phosphorylated active site histidine. This histidine is phosphorylated by a 2,3-diphosphoglyerate cofactor. The enzyme has no requirement for metal ions and also catalyses, slowly, the reactions of EC 5.4.2.4, bisphosphoglycerate mutase.

Enzyme Mechanism
Introduction
The substrate/cofactor initially binds with its phospho group favorably hydrogen bonded by His8, Arg59. The phosphohistidine intermediate would result from the nucleophilic attack of His8 on the phospho group, with accompanying transfer of a proton from Glu86 to the dephosphorylated product. This proton transfer is likely water-mediated. Formation of the catalytically active, protonated form of Glu86 would be promoted by the proximity of the substrate's phospho group. The phosphohistidine intermediate would be stabilised through hydrogen bonding interactions with Arg59. Dephosphorylation of this intermediate would be ccomplished through a water-mediated nucleophilic attack of the now deprotonated Glu86

Step 1. His8 initiates a nucleophilic attack on the 2,3-BPG cofactor, which eliminates 2-phosphoglycerate, which is protonated via a proton relay through a water molecule and Glu86.
