Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum. [PDF]
FEBS Open BioIn this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...
