This week’s OBC cover highlights the work of Aurelio Hidalgoand co-workers at the Center for Molecular Biology, whose paper describes the promiscuous enantioselective (−)-γ-lactamase activity in Pseudomonas fluorescensesterase I. In the paper Aurelio Hidalgoet al. show how the introduction of a mutation to the wild esterase improved the reaction turnover without affecting the enantioselectivity. Read the paper to find out more…..
This paper is FREE to access for the next 6 weeks, so why not take a look at it.
