CRYSTAL STRUCTURE ANALYSIS, REFINEMENT AND ENZYMATIC REACTION MECHANISM OF N-CARBAMOYLSARCOSINE AMIDOHYDROLASE FROM ARTHROBACTER SP. AT 2.0 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION
Carbamoylsarcosine amidohydrolase (CSHase) is involved in one of two alternative creatine degradative pathways in micro-organisms. Both pathways start with creatinine and end with glycine, but the CSHase containing pathway proceeds via N-methylhydantoin, N-carbamoylsarcosine, and sarcosine.
