FERULOYL ESTERASE FROM ASPERGILLUS NIGER
Overview
The crystallographic structure of feruloyl esterase from Aspergillus niger, has been determined to a resolution of 1.5 A by molecular replacement. The, protein has an alpha/beta-hydrolase structure with a Ser-His-Asp catalytic, triad; the overall fold of the protein is very similar to that of the, fungal lipases. The structure of the enzyme-product complex was determined, to a resolution of 1.08 A and reveals dual conformations for the serine, and histidine residues at the active site.
