Structural characterization of the microbial enzyme urocanate reductase mediating imidazole propionate production
Imidazole propionate (ImP) produced by gut microbiota has been associated with type 2 diabetes. Here, the authors present crystal structures of the ImP biosynthesis enzyme urocanate reductase in four different states, providing molecular insights into its catalytic mechanism.
