Structure-based engineering of substrate specificity for pinoresinol-lariciresinol reductases

Pinoresinol–lariciresinol reductases (PLRs) are enzymes involved in the lignan biosynthesis. Here, crystal structures of three PLRs in the apo, substrate-bound and product-bound states, and accompanying mutagenesis provide insight into PLRs catalytic mechanism and suggest a strategy for PLR engineer...
