Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutagenesis was applied to enhance the thermostability and enzymatic activity of cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) isolated from Brevibacterium sp. Three amino acid residues (Q153E, F128L, and S143H) located near the FAD-binding site of the enzyme were substituted based on structural analysis. The specific activity of the two-sites mutant Q153E/F128L increased by 11.6% and the relative activity increased...
