Structure-guided protein engineering increases enzymatic activities of the SGNH family esterases

Abstract Background Esterases and lipases hydrolyze short-chain esters and long-chain triglycerides, respectively, and therefore play essential roles in the synthesis and decomposition of ester bonds in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Many SGNH family esterases share high similarity in seque...
