Reconstruction of the spatial structure of inulinase from Kluyveromyces marxianus to find regulatory pathways of its catalytic activity

详细

Reconstruction of the spatial structure of inulinase (EC 3.2.1.7) from Kluyveromyces marxianus (an enzyme that hydrolyzes inulin and other fructose-based polymers to fructose) was carried out by highthroughput computational modeling. A structural model of a closely related homologous protein, viz., invertase from yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (PDB-ID: 4EQV), was used as a template. The reconstructed model can be used for computer calculations for optimizing the biotechnological feasibility of inulinase.
