Characterization of hybrid biphenyl dioxygenases obtained by recombining<i>Burkholderia</i>sp. strain LB400<i>bphA</i>with the homologous gene of<i>Comamonas testosteroni</i>B-356
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The bacterial degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls depends on the ability of the enzyme biphenyl 2,3-dioxygenase (BPDO) to catalyze their oxygenation. Analysis of hybrid BPDOs obtained using common restriction sites to exchange large DNA fragments between LB400 bphA and B-356 bphA showed that the C-terminal portion of LB400 alpha subunit can withstand extensive structural modifications, and that these modifications can change the catalytic properties of the enzyme. On the other hand, exchanging the C-terminal portion of B-356 BPDO alpha subunit with that of LB400 alpha subunit generated inactive chimeras. Data encourage an enzyme engineering approach, consisting of introducing extensive modifications of the C-terminal portion of LB400 bphA to extend BPDO catalytic properties toward polychlorinated biphenyls.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
