摘要

The putative active site base of cholesterol oxidase from Streptomyces has been removed by site-directed mutagenesis and the mutant enzyme characterized. When glutamate-361 is mutated to a glutamine, the isomerization chemistry catalyzed by cholesterol oxidase is suppressed and the intermediate cholest-5-ene-3-one is isolated. The specific activity for oxidation is 20-fold slower than the wild-type reaction, though the specific activity for ...
