A review of the DALI output revealed many structures similar to 2pbl with little sequence identity. The most similar of these, 2cb7, is a thermophilic and thermostable carboxylesterase. The catalytic triad responsible for its activity has been identified, and in determining whether 2pbl shared similar functionality, conservation of the catalytic triad between the two proteins was assessed (see figure 1).
