Synthesis of (<i>S</i>)- and (<i>R</i>)-β-Tyrosine by Redesigned Phenylalanine Aminomutase

Phenylalanine aminomutase from <i>Taxus chinensis</i> (TchPAM) is employed in the biosynthesis of the widely used antitumor drug paclitaxel. TchPAM has received substantial attention due to its strict enantioselectivity towards (<i>R</i>)-β-phenylalanine, in contrast to the b...
