Crystal structure of Pelagibacterium halotolerans PE8: New insight into its substrate-binding pattern

Abstract Lysophospholipase_carboxylesterase (LPCE) has highly conserved homologs in many diverse species ranging from bacteria to humans, as well as substantial biological significance and potential therapeutic implications. However, its biological function and catalytic mechanism remain minimally i...
