Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The lipase gene lipSR1 isolated from oil-contaminated soil exhibits high hydrolytic activity for short-chain fatty acid substrates. A single calcium ion is required to anchor the lid of LipSR1 in an open conformation by coordination with two aspartate residues and three other residues in the lid. The lid of LipSR1 is anchored by Ca2+, which is coordinated by side-chain carboxyl oxygens of Asp153 and...
