Rational Mutagenesis in the Lid Domain of Ribokinase from <i>E. coli</i> Results in an Order of Magnitude Increase in Activity towards D-arabinose

Rational Mutagenesis in the Lid Domain of Ribokinase from <i>E. coli</i> Results in an Order of Magnitude Increase in Activity towards D-arabinose

Development of efficient approaches for the production of medically important nucleosides is a highly relevant challenge for biotechnology. In particular, cascade synthesis of arabinosides would allow relatively easy production of various cytostatic and antiviral drugs. However, the biocatalyst nece...
