Saturation mutagenesis in selected amino acids to shift Pseudomonas sp acidic lipase Lip I.3 substrate specificity and activity

摘要

Several Pseudomonas sp. CR611 Lip I.3 mutants with overall increased activity and a shift towards longer chain substrates were constructed. Substitution of residues Y29 and W310 by smaller amino acids provided increased activity on C18-substrates. Residues G152 and S154, modified to study their influence on interfacial activation, displayed a five and eleven fold increased activity.
