2-(α-D-mannosyl)-D-glyceric acid

The enzyme was characterised in the thermophilic bacteria, Pyrococcus horikoshii, and the product 2-(α-D-mannosyl)-D-glyceric acid (mannosylglycerate) helps prevent osmotic shock.[1]

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is 2-O-(α-D-mannosyl)-3-phosphoglycerate phosphohydrolase.[2]

Structural studies

As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB: 1WZC​ and PDB: 1XVI​.
