Abstract excerpt
The structural genes of two homologous enzymes, 6-aminohexanoate-dimer hydrolase (EII; nylB) and its evolutionally related protein EII' (nylB') of Flavobacterium sp. KI72 have an open reading frame encoding a peptide of 392 amino acids, of which 47 are different, and conserved restriction sites. The specific activity of EII towards 6-aminohexanoate dimer is about 1000-fold that of EII'. Construction of various...
