Abstract excerpt
Thiamine-dependent actinobacterial 2-hydroxyacyl-CoA lyase (AcHACL) catalyzes the reversible cleavage of 2-hydroxyacyl-CoAs to formyl-CoA and carbonyl compounds. To exploit the enzyme's biotechnological potential, a deeper understanding of the catalysis is required. Previously, AcHACL E493 was identified as an important acid/base catalyst. Here, wild-type and E493 mutant crystal structures representing Michaelis...
