摘要
In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Ferrer and co-workers describe the discovery of five esterases from a distinct deep sea hypersaline biotope [1].Interestingly, one enzyme has two unique features-it contains three active centers mediating distinct esterolytic activities, and its tertiary/quaternary structure can be modulated by environmental changes.
