Structural definition of the active site and catalytic mechanism of 3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone-4-phosphate synthase

Research has been conducted on the L-3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone-4-phosphate synthase from Magnaporthe grisea. The X-ray crystal structures of this synthase has been examined and the high-resolution structures of the enzyme complexed with ligands are presented.
