Abstract excerpt
A triple-site variant (W17Q N90A L129F) of mannose-6-phosphate isomerase from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans was obtained by combining variants with residue substitutions at different positions after random and site-directed mutagenesis. The specific activity and catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) for L-ribulose isomerization of this variant were 3.1- and 7.1-fold higher, respectively, than those of the...
