Abstract excerpt
The biphenyl dioxygenase of Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 is a multicomponent Rieske-type oxygenase that catalyzes the dihydroxylation of biphenyl and many polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The structural bases for the substrate specificity of the enzyme's oxygenase component (BphAE(LB400)) are largely unknown. BphAE(p4), a variant previously obtained through directed evolution, transforms several...
