In the present study, we attempted to control the pH profile of the catalytic activity of the industrially relevant alkaline protease KP-43, by incorporating 3-nitro-l-tyrosine and 3-chloro-l-tyrosine at and near the catalytic site. Thirty KP-43 variants containing these non-natural amino acids at the specific positions were synthesized in <i>Escherichia coli</i> host cells with expanded genetic codes. The variant with 3-nitrotyrosine at position 205, near the substrate binding site, retained it ...[more]
