Cyanophycin synthase (L-arginine-adding)
Cyanophycin synthase is an enzyme with systematic name cyanophycin:L-arginine ligase . This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:
This enzyme requires Mg2+ for activity. This enzyme requires Mg2+ for activity. All enzymes known to have this activity also catalyze the addition of aspartate, i.e. cyanophycin synthase (L-aspartate-adding) activity. It is structurally similar to Muramyl ligases.
