Efficient catalytic promiscuity for chemically distinct reactions.
High catalytic proficiencies observed for the native and promiscuous reaction of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa arylsulfatase (PAS; the picture shows transition states of the two substrates with corresponding binding constants K(tx)) suggest that the trade-off between high activity and tight specificity can be substantially relaxed.
