Characterization and improved properties of Glutamine synthetase from Providencia vermicola by site-directed mutagenesis

Abstract In this study, a novel gene for Glutamine synthetase was cloned and characterized for its activities and stabilities from a marine bacterium Providencia vermicola (PveGS). A mutant S54A was generated by site directed mutagenesis, which showed significant increase in the activity and stabili...
