Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
3-Ketosteroid-9α-hydroxylase (KSH) consists of two protein systems, KshA and KshB, and is a key enzyme in microbial degradation pathway of natural sterols. 9α-Hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione (9α-OH-AD) is a valuable steroid pharmaceutical intermediate. The expression of a 3-ketosteroid-9α-hydroxylase oxygenase (KshA1) with a broad substrate range and high hydroxylation ability was enhanced in Mycobacterium sp. LY-1 to improve the yield of 9α-OH-AD. Through whole-genome sequence mining and homologous comparison, the putative genes (kshA1 and kshB) in wild strain LY-1 were firstly identified. Then they were heterogeneously co-expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. The transformation results of recombinant BL21-KshA1/B demonstrated KshA1/B had high hydroxylation ability to AD. Moreover, substrate preference analysis suggested that KshA1 had a broad substrate range. After enhancing expression of kshA1 and kshB in the strain LY-1, the maximum productivity of 9α-OH-AD in recombinant LY-1-KshA1/B reached 0.064 g/L/h in a 5-L stirred fermenter.
