Engineering a Bifunctional Fusion Purine/Pyrimidine Nucleoside Phosphorylase for the Production of Nucleoside Analogs

Nucleoside phosphorylases (NPs) are pivotal enzymes in the salvage pathway, catalyzing the reversible phosphorolysis of nucleosides to produce nucleobases and α-D-ribose 1-phosphate. Due to their efficiency in catalyzing nucleoside synthesis from purine or pyrimidine bases, these enzymes hold signif...
