Active-site loop variations adjust activity and selectivity of the cumene dioxygenase

Active-site loops are important for catalytic properties of enzymes, but challenging to engineer due to their high flexibility and diversity. Here, the authors identify and engineer hot-spots in the loops of cumene dioxygenase, obtain variants with changed activity, regio- and enantioselectivity, an...

Description
Summary:Active-site loops are important for catalytic properties of enzymes, but challenging to engineer due to their high flexibility and diversity. Here, the authors identify and engineer hot-spots in the loops of cumene dioxygenase, obtain variants with changed activity, regio- and enantioselectivity, and present a Linker In Loop Insertion approach for loop modification.
