Heroin Esterase in RFC25
Heroin esterase, an acetylmorphine carboxylesterase, was isolated from Rhodococcus erythropolis strain H1 in 1994 from the garden soil at Cambridge and is able to use heroin as its sole carbon and energy source by deacetylating the C-3 and C-6 groups to form morphine1. The gene her encodes this enzyme and can be expressed in the chassis Escherichia coli2. The pH optimum for this enzyme is pH8.5 in bicine buffer1.
