Abstract excerpt
Engineering active sites in inert scaffolds to catalyze chemical transformations with unnatural substrates is still a great challenge for enzyme catalysis. In this research, a p-nitrobenzyl esterase from Bacillus subtilis was identified from the structural database, and a double mutant E115A/E188A was designed to afford catalytic activities toward the hydrolysis of ceftizoxime. A quadruple mutant...
