초록

Bacterial Δ$\^$5/-3-ketosteroid isomerase (KSI) is one of the most proficient enzymes catalyzing the isomerization of a variety of Δ$\^$5/-ketosteroids to Δ$^4$-ketosteroids at a diffusion-controlled rate. Because of the simplicity of the reaction, the enzyme mechanism has been intensively studied as a prototype to understand enzyme-catalyzed C-H bond cleavage.(omitted)
