Abstract excerpt
By protein engineering we have investigated changes to two amino acid residues (Trp93 and Ser48) in the substrate pocket of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase 1. Upon changing Thr48 to serine we produced an enzyme which has markedly greater activity towards aliphatic alcohols with chain length up to 8, together with a general increase in catalytic activity (V/K). Changes at position 93 were less pronounced, with the Phe...
