Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the natural evolution of transaminase structure and sequence between an α-transaminase serine-pyruvate aminotransferase and an ω-transaminase from Chromobacterium violaceum with < 20% sequence identity, and identified the active-site regions that are least conserved structurally. We also show that these structural changes correlate strongly with transaminase substrate specificity during evolution...
