Abstract excerpt
Lipase L1 from Geobacillus stearothermophilus L1 contains an unusual extra domain, making a tight intramolecular interaction with the main catalytic domain through a Zn2+-binding coordination. To elucidate the role of the Zn2+, we disrupted the Zn2+-binding site by mutating the zinc-ligand residues (H87A, D61A/H87A, and D61A/H81A/H87A/D238A). The activity vs. temperature profiles of the mutant enzymes showed that...
