Abstract

The degradation of fluoroacetate by microorganisms has been established for some time, although only a handful of dehalogenases capable of hydrolyzing the stable C-F bond have been studied. Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM 8341 was originally isolated from soil and readily degrades fluoroacetate, thus it was thought that its dehalogenase might have some desirable properties. The enzyme was purified from cell-free extracts and characterised: it is a monomer of 32,500 Da, with a pH optimum of 8 and is stable between pH 4 and 10; its activity is stimulated by some metal ions (Mg(2+), Mn(2+) and Fe(3+)), but inhibited by others (Hg(2+), Ag(2+)). The enzyme is specific for fluoroacetate, and the K(m) for this substrate (0.68 mM) is the lowest determined for enzymes of this type that have been investigated to date.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
