Abstract excerpt
Methyl parathion hydrolase (MPH) is an important organophosphorus (OP) detoxifying enzyme, yet achieving a balance between catalytic activity and thermostability remains a major challenge. Notably, two engineered MPH variants, MPHase-m5a and MPHase-m5b, achieve this balance through predominantly distal substitutions, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Understanding how such remote mutations...
