Abstract excerpt
Recognizing the critical need to elucidate the molecular determinants of this selectivity offers a pathway to engineer enzymes with broader and more versatile catalytic capabilities. Through integrated methods including phylogenetic analysis, molecular docking, and structural analysis, we identified a pivotal amino acid residue, αTrp116, linking the substrate binding pocket and the active site of a NHase from...
