3D structure of EcOpgD with β-1,2-glucan obtained by X-ray crystallography

Caption

EcOpgD is a β-1,2-glucanase involved in the adjustment of the chain length of osmo-regulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs). A reaction mechanism with an unprecedentedly long proton transfer pathway has been proposed for EcOpgD.
