Abstract excerpt
A defined bioconjugate of Aerococcus viridans L-lactate oxidase and poly(ethylene glycol) 5000 was prepared and characterized in its structural and functional properties in comparison to the unmodified enzyme. Because the L-lactate oxidase in the native form does not contain cysteines, we introduced a new site for chemical modification via thiol chemistry by substituting the presumably surface-exposed serine-218,...
