Abstract excerpt
γ-Aminobutyrate (GABA) is an important bioactive compound synthesized through decarboxylation of L-glutamate by the glutamate decarboxylase (GAD). In this study, stabilized variants of the GAD from Lactobacillus brevis were constructed by consensus mutagenesis. Using Consensus Finder ( http://cbs-kazlab.oit.umn.edu/ ), eight positions with the most prevalent amino acid (over 60% threshold) among the homologous...
