Improvement from UESTC-China

As a mutant with high activity toward 1,3-DCP, HheC-W249P has little change in the activity of 2,3-DCP. This year we UESTC-China used this part as the substrate to successfully obtain two mutants BBa_K2286006 (P84A) and BBa_K2286008 (P84-W249P) with improved 2,3-DCP activity by molecular simulation and single-site saturation mutagenesis.

Activity toward 2，3-DCP

Halogen ion release occurs when the haloalcohol dehalogenase catalyzes the the o-halanol to the epoxide. The interaction of the halide with Hg2+ allows Hg2+ to be separated from SCN-, which forms a colored complex with Fe3 +. This complex can be determined by absorption at 460 nm. Therefore, we determined these two mutants activity by the halide ion method.

Data were measured in 50mM Tris-H2SO4 at pH 8.5 and 37℃
