Abstract excerpt
Random mutagenesis of the gene encoding Zymomonas mobilis alcohol dehydrogenase-2 has enabled isolation of variants of the enzyme that have substrate specificities different from that of the wild-type enzyme. After amino acids responsible for the changes were identified, directed mutation at these sites was also carried out. Variants that are active on butanol have been investigated in detail. Changes at residue...
