Artificial cysteine-lipases with high activity and altered catalytic mechanism created by laboratory evolution

Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) is a serine lipase. Here, the authors use directed evolution to exchange serine with cysteine in the catalytic triad of the enzyme, thereby obtaining a highly active CALB variant that — unlike the wild type — accommodates bulky substrates.
