Abstract excerpt
This study reports the first molecular cloning of the urate oxidase (UOX) gene from Aspergillus cristatus, yielding a novel oxidase with potential clinical applications. Following codon optimization, the wild-type UOX gene was synthesized and cloned into the pET-28a(+) vector for expression in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Among the five mutants generated using a multi-step prioritization strategy, the Y243K mutant...
