Abstract
An archaeon GGG(A)X-type esterase (ST0071) can catalyze the hydrolysis of various acetates of secondary alcohols, but shows low enantioselectivity. Using structure-guided site-saturation mutagenesis, we successfully identified a G274W variant that has excellent selectivity compared with that of wild-type ST0071.
