Structure-guided engineering of molinate hydrolase for the degradation of thiocarbamate pesticides.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Molinate is a recalcitrant thiocarbamate used to control grass weeds in rice fields. The recently described molinate hydrolase, from Gulosibacter molinativorax ON4T, plays a key role in the only known molinate degradation pathway ending in the formation ...

Tackling Critical Catalytic Residues in Helicobacter pylori L-Asparaginase
Biomolecules, 2015 Bacterial asparaginases (amidohydrolases, EC 3.5.1.1) are important enzymes in cancer therapy, especially for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. They are tetrameric enzymes able to catalyze the deamination of L-ASN and, to a variable extent, of L-GLN, on ...

Biochemical properties of penicillin amidohydrolase from Micrococcus luteus [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1979 Some biochemical properties of whole-cell penicillin amidohydrolase from Micrococcus luteus have been studied. This whole-cell enzyme showed its maximal activity at 36 degrees C at pH 7.5. It was found that the activation energy of this enzyme was 8.03 kcal (ca. 33.6 kJ) per mol, and this amidohydrolase showed first-order decay at 36 degrees C.

Stereochemical aspects of the nucleophilic attack in different classes of l-asparaginases
IUCrJL-Asparaginases hydrolyze L-asparagine to L-aspartate with the release of ammonia. Currently, three completely unrelated structural classes of L-asparaginases are known, further subdivided into five types.
