Abstract: The hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima possesses a unique peptidoglycan containing an unusual d‐lysine. Previously, we identified enzymes involved in the production of d‐lysine and d‐glutamate, respectively, but the biosynthetic pathway of d‐alanine remains unclear. Herein, we… read more here.

Abstract: Branched-chain amino acid aminotransferases (BCATs) catalyze reversible stereoselective transamination of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine. BCATs are the key enzymes of BCAA metab- olism in all organisms. The catalysis proceeds through the… read more here.
