Abstract excerpt
Understanding how enzymes mediate catalysis is a key to their reprogramming for biotechnological applications. The family 3 retaining glycosidase postulated to be involved in erythromycin self-resistance was cloned, recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized. Bioinformatics analysis allowed the identification of the acid/base and nucleophile residues, and mutation of these residues...
