Essential amino acid residues and catalytic mechanism of trans-epoxysuccinate hydrolase for production of meso-tartaric acid.

Objectives: This study aimed to discuss the essential amino acid residues and catalytic mechanism of trans-epoxysuccinate hydrolase from Pseudomonas koreensis for the production of meso-tartaric acid.

Results: The optimum conditions of the enzyme were 45 °C and pH 9.0, respectively.
