Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutagenesis of a previously constructed, recombinant Staphylococcus hyicus lipase (49 kDa) showed that Val363 played a role in catalysis and substrate-binding. In comparison with wild type enzyme, the 64% and 89% decrease in the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of the V363N and V363A enzymes, respectively, were largely caused by a 3.5- and 5.5-fold increase in the substrate-binding affinity (Km),...
