Abstract
Studying the functional and catalytic diversity in the enolase superfamily is a valuable enterprise in accelerating the field of genomic enzymology. This is of paramount importance as the accumulation of genomic data is threatening to outstrip the ability for biochemists to study proteins at a pace that is commensurate with sequencing. Therefore, these contributions to defining the functional diversity within the confines of a mechanistically diverse superfamily are undeniably important in providing the basic understanding to allow for the most rapid possible assignment of protein functions.
