Abstract excerpt
Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylases (AADCs) catalyze the release of CO2 from proteinogenic and non-proteinogenic L-amino acid substrates and are involved in pathways that biosynthesize neurotransmitters or bioactive natural products. In contrast to AADCs from animals and plants, fungal AADCs have received very little attention. Here, we report on the in vitro characterization of heterologously produced...
