Abstract excerpt
We attempted to alter the substrate preference of aminopeptidase from Streptomyces septatus TH-2 (SSAP). Because Asp198 and Phe221 of SSAP are located in the substrate binding site, we screened 2,000 mutant enzymes with D198X/F221X mutations. By carrying out this examination, we obtained two enzymes; one specifically hydrolyzed an arginyl derivative, and the other specifically hydrolyzed a cystinyl derivative...
