Molecular determinants of FlA1 fluorinase specificity were probed using50-chloro-50-deoxyadenosine (50-ClDA) analogs as substrates and FlA1active site mutants. Modifications at F213 or A279 residues are beneficialtowards these modified substrates, including 50-chloro-50-deoxy-2-ethynyladenosine, ClDEA (410-fold activity improvement), andconferred novel activity towards substrates not readily acceptedby wild-type FlA1.
