Abstract excerpt
Rhamnosyltransferases are remarkable biocatalysts for the synthesis of rhamnosylated natural products with valuable physicochemical properties and bioactivities. However, their application is hindered by poor stability and low catalytic efficiency. Here, we achieved simultaneous enhancement of catalytic efficiency and stability of a 1,2-rhamnosyltransferase by a distal mutational engineering strategy. The variant...
