A new carboxylic esterase RhEst1 which catalyzes the hydrolysis of (S)-(+)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate (S-DmCpCe),the key chiral building block of cilastatin,was identified and subsequently crystallized in our previous work[1,2].Mutant RhEst1A147I/V148F/G254A was found to show a 5-fold increase in the catalytic activity[3].
