| Method |
Directed evolution. Researchers used two rounds of DNA shuffling and screened about
12,000 mutants to improve the hydrolytic activity of an organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) 725-fold
toward the toxin chlorpyrifos. |
| Comments |
"Although the
values for the wild-type OPH were somewhat different than
those reported previously (Dumas et al 1989 PMID 2555328 reported a Kcat of 2100 s^-1 for organophosphorous hydrolase from Pseudomonas diminuta), the measured kcat of 73.8 s^-1
and Km of 0.26 mM were consistent with the poorly hydrolyzable
nature of chlorpyrifos." |
