The Tyr134 acts as a <scene name='10/1075254/Y134_h_donation/3'>TextToBeDisplayed</scene> to the oxygen on the dienophile (see Fig. 2). Q208 acts as a <scene name='10/1075254/208_bond_donor/3'>hydrogen bond acceptor</scene> to the nitrogen on the diene. These interactions help reduce the energetic gap between orbitals allowing the reaction to proceed. | ||

The hydrophobic helix “functions as a lid to constrain the substrates in a productive orientation for reaction,” decreasing the ''K<sub>m</sub>'' of the enzyme and increasing the catalytic efficiency, as seen in the measured kinetics of the enzyme.<ref name="Eiben">PMID:22267011</ref> | ||
