Abstract excerpt
Two notable features of the thermophilic CYP119, an Arg154-Glu212 salt bridge between the F-G loop and the I helix and an extended aromatic cluster, were studied to determine their contributions to the thermal stability of the enzyme. Site-specific mutants of the salt bridge (Arg154, Glu212) and aromatic cluster (Tyr2, Trp4, Trp231, Tyr250, Trp281) were expressed and purified. The substrate-binding and kinetic...
