    Abstract

    Replacing the active site Cys-123 of dienelactone hydrolase with Ser completely changes the catalysis displayed by the protein, from hydrolysis of the substrate E- and Z-dienelactones to maleylacetate by the native enzyme, to interconversion of the substrates by the mutant, dienelactone isomerase.
