Abstract excerpt
Active penicillin acylase from Kluyvera citrophila strain ATCC 21,285 consists of two different alpha- and beta-subunits derived from a single precursor by post-translational processing. Using the chemical mutagen hydroxylamine we have treated plasmid pYKD59 containing the active penicillin acylase gene (pga) from K. citrophila and have generated different point mutant penicillin acylase genes, one producing a...
