2 Yeast transketolase is one of several thiamin diphosphate dependent enzymes whose three-dimensional structures have been determined. Thiamine Pyrophosphate transketolase Homo sapiens
3 In the homodimer transketolase the two catalytic sites, where dihydroxyethyl groups are transferred from ketose donors to aldose acceptors, are formed at the interface between the two subunits, where the thiazole and pyrimidine rings of thiamin diphosphate are bound.
