Protein flexibility drives sugar rotation and high substrate promiscuity in a GDP-sugar 4-epimerase

UDP-galactose 4-epimerases (Gal4Es) catalyze the inversion of the 4-hydroxyl configuration of a sugar moiety from an NDP-sugar through a three-step process: oxidation, rotation and reduction. Despite extensive biochemical and structural studies, the role of protein dynamics on substrate specificity...
