The reaction catalyzed by human thymidine phosphorylase [24]. The transition state is unusual for an N-ribosyltransferase reaction by featuring a nearly symmetrical nucleophilic displacement reaction. Other enzymatic N-ribosyltransferases feature dissociative transition states, as does the chemical reaction [42•].
