Abstract excerpt
The oxygenase component (C2) of p-hydroxyphenylacetate (4-HPA) 3-hydroxylase (HPAH) from Acinetobacter baumannii catalyzes the hydroxylation of various phenolic acids. In this report, we found that substitution of a residue close to the phenolic group binding site to yield the S146A variant resulted in an enzyme that is more effective than the wild-type in catalyzing the hydroxylation of 4-aminophenylacetate...
