Abstract excerpt
Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) from Cephalosporium acremonium contains 2 cysteine residues in positions 106 and 255 which are invariant in all IPNS sequences reported to date (Miller, J.R., and Ingolia, T.D. (1989) Mol. Microbiol. 3, 689-695). Although these residues have been postulated to play...
