<div>In this contribution, the phosphoryl transfer reaction in CDK2 has been studied in detail considering the presence of an additional Mg2+ ion in the active site. For this purpose, QM/MM (quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics) free energy calculations with the adaptive string method were performed, which showed that indeed the system containing two Mg2+ ions exhibits a lower activation free energy, corroborating the experimental observations.</div>

The structure of yeast phosphoglycerate mutase determined by X-ray crystallographic and amino acid sequence studies has been interpreted in terms of the chemical, kinetic and mechanistic observations made on this enzyme. There are two histidine residues at the active site, with imidazole groups almost parallel to each other and approximately 0.4 nm apart, positioned close to the 2 and 3 positions of the substrate. The simplest interpretation of the available information suggests that a ping-pong type mechanism operates in which at least one of these histidine residues participates in the phosphoryl transfer reaction. The flexible C-terminal region also plays an important role in the enzymic reaction.
