Abstract excerpt
The substrate reactivity of the flavoenzyme 2-hydroxybiphenyl 3-monooxygenase (EC, HbpA) was changed by directed evolution using error-prone PCR. In situ screening of mutant libraries resulted in the identification of proteins with increased activity towards 2-tert-butylphenol and guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol). One enzyme variant contained amino acid substitutions V368A/L417F, which were inserted by two rounds of...
