Methods are presented for the use of the coral 8R-lipoxygenase from the Caribbean sea whip coral Plexaura homomalla as a model enzyme for structural studies of animal lipoxygenases. The 8R-lipoxygenase is remarkably stable and can be stored at 4°C for 3 months with virtually no loss of activity. In addition, an engineered "pseudo wild-type" enzyme is soluble in the absence of detergents, which helps facilitate the preparation of enzyme:substrate complexes.
本文介绍了使用来自加勒比海鞭珊瑚（Plexaura homomalla）的珊瑚8R-脂氧合酶作为动物脂氧合酶结构研究模型酶的方法。8R-脂氧合酶非常稳定，可在4°C下保存3个月，活性几乎没有损失。此外，一种工程化的“假野生型”酶在没有洗涤剂的情况下可溶，这有助于促进酶：底物复合物的制备。
