A schematic description of the acylation step in the catalytic reaction of the CALA. The reaction is considered as a two-step mechanism, where step (1) involves a proton transfer from Ser184 to His366 and step (2) involves the attack of the negatively charged serine on the carbonyl carbon of the substrate and a formation of a tetrahedral intermediate.
