Abstract excerpt
To enhance the activity of transketolase towards nonphosphorylated substrates and enlarge the scope of its substrates, notably to long polyol aldehyde acceptors (D-ribose or D-glucose), a rational design-supported evolution strategy was applied. By using docking experiments, an in silico library, and iterative mutagenesis, libraries of single- and double-point mutants were designed and generated. A...
