Abstract excerpt
A major disadvantage of cyclodextrin production is the limited cyclodextrin product specificity of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase). Here, we described mutations of Asp372 and Tyr89 at subsite -3 in the CGTase from Paenibacillus macerans strain JFB05-01. The results showed that Asp372 and Tyr89 played important roles in cyclodextrin product specificity of CGTase. The replacement of Asp372 by lysine and...
