Abstract excerpt
Aminotransferases are pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzymes that catalyze reversible transamination reactions between amino acids and α-keto acids, and are important for the cellular metabolism of nitrogen. Many bacterial and eukaryotic ω-aminotransferases that use l-ornithine (Orn), l-lysine (Lys), or γ-aminobutyrate (GABA) have been identified and characterized, but the corresponding enzymes from archaea are...
