DOI: 10.1002/cbic.202400285
Abstract: ω‐Transaminases (ω‐TAs) are attractive biocatalysts asymmetrically catalyzing ketones to chiral amines. However, poor non‐native catalytic activity and substrate promiscuity severely hamper its wide application in industrial production. Protein engineering efforts have generally focused on reshaping… read more here.
