Interaction of an engineered [3Fe-4S] cluster with a menaquinol binding site of Escherichia coli DMSO reductase.

abstract：:One way to improve the economic feasibility of biomass conversion is to enhance the catalytic efficiency of cellulases through protein engineering. This requires that high-resolution structures of cellulases be available. Here we present the structure of E2cd, the catalytic domain of the thermophilic endocellulase E2 ...
