Processive Pectin Methylesterases: The Role of Electrostatic Potential, Breathing Motions and Bond Cleavage in the Rectification of Brownian Motions
Figure 1
An example of the hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by pectin methylesterase (PME).
A homogalacturonan trimer, with conventional atom-labelling scheme, undergoes de-methylesterification of the middle subunit.
