Abstract excerpt
D-Amino acid transaminase (EC 2.6.1.21), from Bacillus sp. YM-1, a thermostable enzyme with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate as coenzyme and a target for the design of novel antimicrobial agents, catalyzes the reversible transfer of an amino group between D-alanine and alpha-ketoglutarate to form pyruvate and D-glutamate, respectively. To explore the catalytic role of Lys-145, which binds the coenzyme, a site-specific...
