Fig. 4From: Pectinolytic lyases: a comprehensive review of sources, category, property, structure, and catalytic mechanism of pectate lyases and pectin lyasesThe β-elimination catalytic mechanism of PGLs. A. Mode of action in PGLs and PMGLs (X: –O–, the substrate is pectinate, X: –O–CH3, the substrate is pectin); B. Ca2+-assisted β-elimination catalytic mechanism; C. Common β-elimination catalytic mechanism in PGLs and PMGLs (Lys/Arg as catalytic base)Back to article page
