Asp305Gly mutation improved the activity and stability of the styrene monooxygenase for efficient epoxide production in Pseudomonas putida KT2440

摘要

BackgroundStyrene monooxygenase (SMO) catalyzes the first step of aromatic alkene degradation yielding the corresponding epoxides. Because of its broad spectrum of substrates, the enzyme harbors a great potential for an application in medicine and chemical industries.
