Abstract
Proteins having a hydrophobic cavity proximate to which is a residue promoting hydrolysis of functional moieties are effective semisynthetic hydrolases. Heme proteins from which the heme has been removed usually have at least one imidazole residue proximate to the cavity, and thus act as quite effective esterases. Because the size and shape of the cavities of such proteins are capable of broad diversity a wide spectrum of substrates may be hydrolyzed by these semisynthetic enzymes.
