Abstract excerpt
D-Phenylglycine aminotransferase (D-PhgAT) from Pseudomonas stutzeri ST-201 is useful for enzymatic synthesis of enantiomerically pure D-phenylglycine. However, its low protein solubility prevents its application at high substrate concentration. With an aim to increase the protein solubility, the N-terminus of D-PhgAT was genetically fused with short peptides (A1 α- helix, A2 α-helix, and ALAL, which is a hybrid...
