Abstract excerpt
To improve the efficiency and to investigate the molecular determinants that direct substrate specificity of chlorocatechol 2,3-dioxygenase CbzE(GJ31) , several mutant enzymes were constructed. Loci for substitutions of amino acids were selected by sequence comparisons as well as by homology modelling of known chlorocatechol 2,3-dioxygenases (CbzE(BASF) , CbzE(SK1) and CbzE(16-6A)). Activity measurements with...
