Abstract excerpt
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are key substrates in the formation of fusel alcohols, important flavour components in fermented foods. The first step in the catabolic BCAA degradation is a transaminase step, catalyzed by a branched-chain amino acid transaminase (BCAAT). Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses a mitochondrial and a cytosolic BCAAT, Bat1p and Bat2p, respectively. In order to study the impact of the...
