Molecular Mechanism of Strict Substrate Specificity of an Extradiol Dioxygenase, DesB, Derived from Sphingobium sp. SYK-6

DesB, which is derived from Sphingobium sp. SYK-6, is a type II extradiol dioxygenase that catalyzes a ring opening reaction of gallate. While typical extradiol dioxygenases show broad substrate specificity, DesB has strict substrate specificity for gallate. The substrate specificity of DesB seems t...
