Abstract excerpt
In this study, rational design and saturation mutagenesis efforts for engineering phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from Petroselinum crispum (PcPAL) provided tailored PALs active towards challenging, highly valuable di-substituted substrates, such as the L-DOPA precursor 3,4-dimethoxy-L-phenylalanine or the 3-bromo-4-methoxy-phenylalanine. The rational design approach and saturation mutagenesis strategy unveiled...
