Abstract excerpt
A mutation analysis of the catalytic functions of active-site residues of coenzyme B(12)-dependent diol dehydratase in the conversion of 1,2-propanediol to 1,1-propanediol has been carried out by using QM/MM computations. Mutants His143Ala, Glu170Gln, Glu170Ala, and Glu170Ala/Glu221Ala were considered to estimate the impact of the mutations of His143 and Glu170. In the His143Ala mutant the activation energy for...
