Abstract excerpt
Archaeal enzymes often possess unique structural features. Here, we identified an archaeal chitosanase from Methanosarcina thermophila, mtCsn46, which contains a charged C-terminal extension. Experimental results showed that the positively charged region (PR) plays a critical role in enzyme function. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations revealed that PR is positioned above the substrate-binding pocket,...
