L-Rhamnose isomerases catalyze isomerization between L-rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose) and L-rhamnulose (6-deoxy-L-fructose), which is the first step in rhamnose catabolism. L-Rhamnose isomerase from Bacillus halodurans ATCC BAA-125 (BHRI) exhibits interesting characteristics such as high thermostability and selective substrate specificity. BHRI fused with an HHHHHH sequence was purified and crystallized in order to elucidate the molecular basis of its unique enzymatic properties. The crystals were ...[more]
