Abstract excerpt
The cyclic dinucleotide c-di-GMP is a widespread bacterial messenger molecule with potential application as a therapeutic agent for treating bacterial infection. Current enzymatic synthesis of c-di-GMP using mesophilic diguanylate cyclase (DGC) proteins suffers from low production yield due to protein instability and strong product inhibition. Here we report the overexpression and characterization of a...
