GAL(SA) is derived from GAL by replacing actives site residues glutamate 203 with serine and leucine 206 with alanine. Having these smaller amino acids in the active site increases the substrate binding cavity, and makes the active site of αGAL(SA) very similar to that of αNAGAL. With these substitutions, the catalytic activity of GAL(SA) is more similar to NAGAL than to GAL (the data is not shown here, but can be found in the research paper<ref name=primary/>).
