Structural insights into the catalytic mechanism of lovastatin hydrolase

The lovastatin hydrolase PcEST from the fungus Penicillium chrysogenum exhibits enormous potential for industrial-scale applications in single-step production of monacolin J, the key precursor for synthesis of the cholesterol-lowering drug simvastatin. This enzyme specifically and efficiently cataly...
