Abstract excerpt
Understanding how enzyme specificity evolves will provide guiding principles for protein engineering and function prediction. The o-succinylbenzoate synthase (OSBS) family is an excellent model system for elucidating these principles because it has many highly divergent amino acid sequences that are <20% identical, and some members have evolved a second function. The OSBS family belongs to the enolase...
