Adapting an acyl CoA ligase from Metallosphaera sedula for lactam formation by structure-guided protein engineering
The CoA ligase from Metallosphaera sedula (MsACL) can be used for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids. In this CoA-independent conversion, the enzyme catalyzes the adenylation of a carboxylic acid with the help of ATP, followed by the uncatalyzed cleavage of acyl-AMP by a nu...
