Abstract excerpt
Urethane hydrolase can degrade the carcinogen ethyl carbamate (EC) in fermented food, but its stability and activity limit its application. In this study, a mutant G246A and a double mutant N194V/G246A with improved cpUH activity and stability of Candida parapsilosis were obtained by site-directed mutagenesis. The catalytic efficiency (Kcat/Km) of mutant G246A and double mutant N194V/G246A are 1.95 times and 1.88...
