Abstract excerpt
Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) from Streptomyces clavuligerus catalyses the oxidative cyclization of the acyclic tripeptide delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine into isopenicillin N. All four of the cysteine residues found in this enzyme were mutated individually into serine residues, either by the polymerase chain reaction or by single-strand site-directed mutagenesis. Functional analysis of these...
