Kinetic and Sequence-Structure-Function Analysis of Known LinA Variants with Different Hexachlorocyclohexane Isomers

摘要

BackgroundHere we report specific activities of all seven naturally occurring LinA variants towards three different isomers, α, γ and δ, of a priority persistent pollutant, hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH). Sequence-structure-function differences contributing to the differences in their stereospecificity for α-, γ-, and δ-HCH and enantiospecificity for (+)- and (−)-α -HCH are also discussed.
