Abstract excerpt
L-asparaginases (E.C.3.5.1.1, L- ASNases) have been widely used in clinical practice as chemotherapeutic drugs of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). In order to evaluate the structural and functional role of selected residues in ASNases we report the screening of a library of L-ASNase mutants aiming to find detrimental mutations that significantly affect catalysis and substrate specificity. The library of...
