-- No description --

There are two main obstacles limiting natural CapD as an Anthrax therapeutic. First, natural CapD is a difficult to express dimer, requiring an auto-cleavage to activate. Second, CapD is a better transpeptidase than poly-γ-D-glutamate hydrolase, limiting its Anthrax decapsulating potential. To solve the first problem, we created a circular permuted, monomeric version of CapD that is easy to express and quantify. To improve hydrolysis, we used FoldIt, a computational toolbox, to design active site mutations aimed to increase hydrolysis over transpeptidation.
