Understanding desaturation/hydroxylation activity of castor stearoyl Δ9-Desaturase through rational mutagenesis

A recently proposed reaction mechanism of soluble Δ9 desaturase (Δ9D) allowed us to identify auxiliary residues His203, Asp101, Thr206 and Cys222 localized near the di-iron active site that are supposedly involved in the proton transfer (PT) to and from the active site. The PT, along with the electr...
