Structure-guided active-site redesign of a family GT-80 β-D-galactoside sialyltransferase (from Pasteurella dagmatis) to change enzyme regioselectivity from α-2,3 in the wild type to α-2,6 in a P7H–M117A double mutant is reported. Biochemical data for sialylation of lactose together with protein crystal structures demonstrate highly precise enzyme engineering.
