Amino acid dehydrogenases catalyze oxidative deamination or reductive amination between amino acids and their corresponding α-keto acids. Through NAD(H), NADP(H), or flavin cofactors, these enzymes connect nitrogen metabolism, central carbon metabolism, and cellular redox status. They are also ...
Biocatalysis centers on enzyme molecules or cell-based catalytic systems and achieves highly efficient and highly selective transformations under mild conditions through precise control of substrate recognition, transition-state stabilization, and reaction-pathway selection.
