additional information
changing the pH of the reaction drastically alters the fidelity of Cop4 and makes it a highly selective enzyme. Increasing the reaction temperature to 37°C decreases the fidelity of Cop4. At this temperature Cop4 generates a relative larger fraction of products beta-cubebene, sativene, delta-cadinene and beta-copaene, that are derived from a cadinyl cation intermediate. The histidine side chain in the Cop4 loop, in particular, has a strong impact on the net charge of the loop at different pH values
