Abstract excerpt
Nitrilases can hydrolyze nitriles to corresponding carboxylic acids in one single step, which have great potential as valuable biocatalysts for chemical synthesis. However, the poor thermostability of the nitrilases restrict their applications in industry. In this work, error-prone PCR and site-directed mutagenesis were utilized to improve the thermostability of nitrilases. Several mutants (AcN-Q339K, AcN-Q343K,...
