Abstract excerpt
The catalytic efficiency of Streptomyces klenkii phospholipase D (SkPLD) in soybean phosphatidylcholine (soy-PC) processing is constrained by its acyl chain specificity. To address this limitation, we engineered the substrate-binding pocket of SkPLD to increase its flexibility. The mutant P343A/Y383L exhibited a 7.14-fold increase in catalytic efficiency toward soy-PC compared to the wild type. This enhancement...
