Abstract excerpt
Bacillus stearothermophillus lactate dehydrogenase (bsLDH) is activated in the presence of fructose 1,6 bisphosphate (FBP). The activator is expensive and representative of the sort of co-factor complications that are undesirable in industrial processes. Three rounds of random mutagenesis and screening produced a mutant (6A) which is almost fully activated in the absence of FBP. Wild-type bsLDH has a K(pyr)(M) of...
