Impact of cofactor-binding loop mutations on thermotolerance and activity of E. coli transketolase

[Display omitted] •Transketolase variants with increased thermostability have been obtained by engineering cofactor-binding loops towards those found in a thermophilic homologue.•Thermal annealing behaviour is enhanced by mutations in one loop, and abolished by mutations in the second loop.•One ther...
