| Abstract | This work describes a site-directed mutagenesis study of pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase (PETN reductase) to probe the role of key active site residues in influencing both product enantiopurity and the ratio of CC vs. nitro-group reduction with 2-phenyl-1-nitropropene. Comparative biotransformations of wild type and single/double mutants of PETN reductase with 2-phenyl-1-nitropropene showed that one enzyme scaffold was capable of generating both enantiomeric products with improved enantiopurities by a manipulation of the reaction conditions and/or the presence of a one or two key mutations. These changes located at key active site residues were sufficient to moderately improve product enantiopurity, cause a switch in the major product enantiomer formed and/or promote or eliminate side-product formation. The mutation of substrate-binding residue Y351 to alanine and phenylalanine improved the biocatalytic potential of PETN reductase by the elimination of a competing side reaction. The crystal structures of three mutants at residue Y351 (PDB codes: 3P81, 3P84 and 3P8J) show that only subtle changes in the active site environment may be necessary to generate significantly improved biocatalysts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
