Decarboxylase mechanism. Potential mechanism of the decarboxylase reaction catalyzed by EvdS6 highlighted residues shown in green. The Michaelis complex is shown binding the boat conformation and the first intermediate depicts the twist boat confirmation, which establishes optimal orbital overlap between the C-5”-C-6” σ-bond and the C-4”-O π-bond that is required for decarboxylation.
