A pivoting histidine domain mediates phosphate transfer in glucan water dikinase
As the sole naturally occurring covalent modification of starch, phosphorylation plays a critical role in regulating starch metabolism across higher plants and algae. Starch phosphorylation is catalyzed by high molar mass dikinases, such as the glucan water dikinase 1 from Solanum tuberosum (StGWD1). This is the most e...
