- Abstract
The article discusses a study which examines the enzymatic properties of YvdO protein. Findings of the study reveal that the enzyme was specified under the middle-chain fatty acids with estimated optimum potential of hydrogen (pH) of 7.5. It indicates that a free myristic acid was determined during its reaction with 1-myristoly-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. It concludes that YvdO is a novel thermostable lipolytic enzyme which has the capacity to hydrolyze lysophospholipids.
