Abstract excerpt
The styrene oxidation activity of cytochrome P450cam, has been greatly improved by rational protein engineering. Compared to the wild-type enzyme, the active-site mutants Y96A and Y96F bound styrene more tightly, consumed NADH more rapidly, and were more efficient at utilising reducing equivalents for product formation. Styrene oxide formation rates were enhanced 9-fold in the Y96A mutant relative to wild-type,...
