A transaminase with β-activity from Variovorax boronicumulans for the production of enantiopure β-amino acids

Enantioselective transamination of amino acids is a great challenge in biotechnology as suitable enzymes with wide substrate spectrum are rare. Here, we present a new transaminase from Variovorax boronicumulans (VboTA, Variovorax boronicumulans ω-transaminase) which is specific for β-amino acids.The...
