Abstract excerpt
Mutations in an enzyme can result in a neomorphic catalytic activity in cancers. We applied cancer-associated mutations from isocitrate dehydrogenases to homologous residues in the active sites of homoisocitrate dehydrogenases to derive enzymes that catalyze the conversion of 2-oxoadipate to (R)-2-hydroxyadipate, a critical step for adipic acid production. Thus, we provide a prototypic example of how insights...
