Abstract excerpt
Superimposition of deacetoxycephalosporin C synthase (DAOCS) and isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) structures revealed that R74, R160, R266 and N304 are strategically located in the catalytic cavity of Streptomyces clavuligerus DAOCS (scDAOCS) and are crucial for orchestrating different substrates. Substitutions at these sites to a hydrophobic leucine residue were expected to stabilize the hydrophobic substrate...
