Biochemical and Structural Characterisation of a Novel D-Lyxose Isomerase From the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Thermofilum sp.

A novel D-lyxose isomerase has been identified within the genome of a hyperthermophilic archaeon belonging to the Thermofilum species. The enzyme has been cloned and over-expressed in Escherichia coli and biochemically characterised. This enzyme differs from other enzymes of this class in that it is...
