the mutant enzyme shows much lower thermostability, pH stability, and organic solvent tolerance than the hydroxynitrile lyase from leaves and that expressed in Pichia pastoris. kcat of the mutant enzyme is 1.3fold lower than the kcat of the wild-type enzyme, kcat/Km of the mutant enzyme is 2.3fold lower than the kcat/Km of the wild type enzyme from leaves
mutant with improved catalytic properties: recovery of a 89.9% yield of (R)-2-chloromandelonitrile with an enantiomeric excess of 97.6% enantiomeric excess, about 4% residual aldehyde. The mutant also contains two silent mutations at position 85 and position 432
mutant with improved catalytic properties: recovery of a 92.7% yield of (R)-2-chloromandelonitrile with an ee of 98.6% enantiomeric excess, about 2% residual aldehyde, the mutant also contains two silent mutations at position 85 and position 432
design of a surface-modified variant incorporating 11 changes in the amino acids on the protein surface to stabilze the protein at acidic pH. Mutant shows a broadened pH optimum towards the acidic range, along with enhancement of activity by up to twofold and significantly increased pH- and thermostabilities. The effect is probably due to a shift of the isoelectic point from pH 5.1 to 4.8. Mutant is applicable in aqueous/organic two-phase systems

fusion of enzyme to different fluorescent reporter proteins. All fusion constructs retain enzymatic activity and fluorescence in vivo and in vitro, but show significant differences in activity and pH stability. Flavin-based fluorescent reporter fusions show almost 2 orders of magnitude-increased half-lives in the weakly acidic pH range compared to findings for the wild-type enzyme. This increased stability is apparently caused by oligomerization mediated via the flavin-based tag. The increased stability of the fusion proteins enables the efficient synthesis of (R)-mandelonitrile in an aqueous-organic two-phase system at a pH below 5
