Abstract excerpt
Recently, the Kemp elimination reaction has been extensively studied in computational enzyme design of new catalysts, as no natural enzyme has evolved to catalyze this reaction. In contrast to in silico enzyme design, we were interested in searching for Kemp eliminase activity in natural enzymes with catalytic promiscuity. Based on similarities of substrate structures and reaction mechanisms, we assumed that the...
