Abstract excerpt
Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) catalyzes the formation of cyclodextrins from starch. Among the CGTases with known three-dimensional structure, Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes CGTase has the highest thermostability. By replacing amino acid residues in the B-domain of Bacillus circulans CGTase with those from T. thermosulfurigenes CGTase, we identified a B. circulans CGTase mutant (with N188D...
