1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Transaminases catalyze the reversible transfer reaction of an amino group between a primary amine and an α-keto acid, utilizing pyridoxal 5'-phosphate as a cofactor. ω-transaminases (ωTAs) recognize an amino group linked to a non-α carbon of amine substrates. Recently, a novel (S)-enantioselective ωTA from Thermomicrobium roseum (Tr-ωTA) was identified and its enzymatic activity reported. However, the detailed mechanism of (S)-enantioselective substrate recognition remained unclear. In this study, we determined the crystal structure of Tr-ωTA at 1.8 Å resolution to elucidate the mechanism underlying Tr-ωTA substrate (S)-enantioselectivity. A structural analysis of Tr-ωTA along with molecular docking simulations revealed that two pockets at the active site tightly restrict the size and orientation of functional groups of substrate candidates. Based on the structural information and docking simulation results, we propose a comprehensive catalytic mechanism of Tr-ωTA. The present study thus provides structural and functional insights into the (S)-enantioselectivity of Tr-ωTA.
