Enzymatic synthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids using a parallel cascade strategy and tyrosinase variants

Pharmaceuticals derived from benzylisoquinoline alkaloids find application in modern medicine. Here, the authors report the design of a parallel enzymatic cascade to generate halogenated benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, that included engineering of tyrosinase mutants to enhance substrate capabilities.
