Evolutionary Adaptability Coupled with Computation-Driven Engineering for Thermostability Enhancement of a Deoxynivalenol-Detoxifying Fusion Enzyme
Deoxynivalenol (DON), a trichothecene mycotoxin commonly found in cereal grains and their derived products, poses significant risks to human and animal health. In previous work, a fusion enzyme composed of the dehydrogenase DADH and the aldo-keto reductase AKR13B3 was engineered to convert DON into the non-toxic 3-epi-...
