The zinc ion (orange circle) binds a water molecule (blue) and serves as an electrostatic catalyst to promote hydrolysis of the C-terminal amino acid from a peptide substrate (green). It does so by stabilizing the nega- tive charge on the oxygen in the tetrahedral transition state. Enzyme active site residues are indicated by black coloring. The bond cleaved is indicated by the dashed red arrow.
