Biochemistry. 40:2001;6989-6997. • The structure of DHO was determined in the presence of substrate and product to a resolution of 1.7 Å where dihydroorotate was bound to one subunit and carbamoyl aspartate was bound to the other subunit within a single dimeric species. This has provided an unprecedented view of the molecular interactions between substrate and product with the enzyme before and after the chemical transformation.
