Putrescine-bound structure and multi-temperature crystallography provide new insights into ligand binding and conformational heterogeneity in spermidine synthase

Spermidine synthase (SPDS) is an important enzyme in the pathway for the biosynthesis of polyamines, and it synthesizes the polyamine spermidine from putrescine (PUT) and decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine. This pathway is a promising target for antiproliferative therapies because of the functions of polyamines in cel...
