Abstract excerpt
Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD; EC 4.1.1.15) is a unique pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that specifically catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-glutamic acid to produce γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which exhibits several well-known physiological functions. However, glutamate decarboxylase from different sources has the common problem of poor thermostability that affects its application in industry. In...
