Abstract

A wild type NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase from Candida magnoliae (reductase S1) has been found not to utilize NADH as a coenzyme. A mutation to exchange the coenzyme specificity in reductase S1 has been designed by computer-aided methods, including three- dimensional structure modeling and in silico screening of enzyme mutants. Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to introduce systematic substitutions of seven or eight amino ...
