Abstract excerpt
Enzymes have evolved to function under aqueous conditions and may not exhibit features essential for biocatalytic application, such as the ability to function in high concentrations of an organic solvent. Consequently, protein engineering is often required to tune an enzyme for catalysis in non-aqueous solvents. In this study, we have used a collection of nearly all single mutants of 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase,...
