abstract = {Understanding mechanisms of promiscuity is increasingly
important from a fundamental and application point of view.
As to enzyme structural dynamics, more promiscuous enzymes
generally have been recognized to also be more flexible.
However, examples for the opposite received much less
attention. Here, we exploit comprehensive experimental
information on the substrate promiscuity of 147 esterases
tested against 96 esters together with computationally
efficient rigidity analyses to understand the molecular
origin of the observed promiscuity range. Unexpectedly, our
data reveal that promiscuous esterases are significantly
less flexible than specific ones, are significantly more
thermostable, and have a significantly increased specific
activity. These results may be reconciled with a model
according to which structural flexibility in the case of
specific esterases serves for conformational proofreading.
Our results signify that an esterase sequence space can be
screened by rigidity analyses for promiscuous esterases as
starting points for further exploration in biotechnology and
synthetic chemistry.},
