Litzinger et al. (2010) suggested that the acid/base catalyst of 2 domain NagZs (and also 1 domain NagZs) is an Asp-His dyad in the (β/α)8 domain. pmid: 20826810.

Update to Catalytic Residues section needed?

Given the growing amount of information about the identity of the GH3 catalytic residues, and in particular the acid/base, in different enzymes/subfamilies, I wonder if a update of this section isn't needed?

Here are some key acid/base ID references [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], one of which also confirms the catalytic nucleophile [7]. These references are nucleophile-specific studies [10, 11]:
