Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutagenesis was carried out on Bacillus pumilus chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT-86) to determine the effects of substitution at a conserved hydrophobic pocket identified earlier as important for thermostability. Mutations were introduced that would substitute residues at consensus positions 33, 191 and 203 in the enzyme, both individually and in combination. Two mutants, SDM1 (CAT-86 Y33F,...
