Abstract excerpt
3α-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD) from Comamonas testosteroni is widely used in clinical settings to measure serum total bile acid levels. However, its low enzymatic activity leads to high operational costs. In this study, we employed a combinatorial mutagenesis approach to systematically identify potential key mutation sites within the enzyme. The enzyme molecule was segmented into distinct regions, and a...
