Catalytic promiscuity and evolution: Many enzymes exhibit catalytic promiscuity--the ability to catalyze reactions other than their biologically relevant one. These reactions can serve as starting points for both natural and laboratory evolution of new enzymatic functions. Recent advances in the study of enzyme promiscuity in the tautomerase superfamily are discussed.
许多酶表现出催化多功能性——即能够催化除其生物学相关反应之外的其他反应。这些反应可以作为自然和实验室进化新酶功能的起点。本文讨论了在互变异构酶超家族中对酶多功能性的研究进展。
