1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

One of the main factors hampering the implementation in industry of transaminase-based processes for the synthesis of enantiopure amines is their often low storage and operational stability. Our still limited understanding of the inactivation processes undermining the stability of wild-type transaminases represents an obstacle to improving their stability through enzyme engineering. In this paper we present a model describing the inactivation process of the well-characterized (S)-selective amine transaminase from Chromobacterium violaceum. The cornerstone of the model, supported by structural, computational, mutagenesis and biophysical data, is the central role of the catalytic lysine as a conformational switch. Upon breakage of the lysine-PLP Schiff base, the strain associated with the catalytically active lysine conformation is dissipated in a slow relaxation process capable of triggering the known structural rearrangements occurring in the holo-to-apo transition and ultimately promoting dimer dissociation. Due to the occurrence in the literature of similar PLP-dependent inactivation models valid for other non-transaminase enzymes belonging to the same fold-class, the role of the catalytic lysine as conformational switch might extend beyond the transaminase enzyme group and offer new insight to drive future non-trivial engineering strategies.
