Abstract excerpt
The amino acid residue Asp 577 is located in calcium-binding site III (CaIII) of the cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.19, CGTase) from Bacillus circulans STB01. In the present study, the effects of replacing Asp577 with glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine on the catalytic efficiency of this CGTase were investigated. Two of these replacements, D577G and D577A, increased the β-cyclization...
