Evolving P450pyr monooxygenase for highly regioselective terminal hydroxylation of n-butanol to 1,4-butanediol

Abstract

Directed evolution of P450pyr created I83M/I82T mutant for highly regioselective terminal hydroxylation of n-butanol to 1,4-butanediol, representing the first achievement of this hydroxylation reaction by chemical or enzymatic methods and an unique example of evolving a hydroxylase to switch the substrate acceptance from a hydrophobic to hydrophilic compound.
