2ZLB, 2ZTH - PubMed Abstract: 
Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT, EC 2.1.1.6) is a monomeric enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AdoMet) to the phenolic oxygen of substituted catechols. Although the inhibitor recognition pattern and AdoMet site have already been studied crystallographically, structural information on the catalytic cycle of COMT has not yet been obtained ...
