A Series of Crystal Structures of a<i>meta</i>-Cleavage Product Hydrolase from<i>Pseudomonas fluorescens</i>IP01 (CumD) Complexed with Various Cleavage Products
parameters for nine substrates and crystalstructures complexed with eight cleavageproducts. CumD preferred substrates with long non-branched C6 substituents, but did not effectively hydrolyze a substrate with a phenyl group. Superimposition of the complex structures indicated that benzoate was bound in a significantly different direction than other aliphatic cleavageproducts. The directions of the bound
