Structure-function investigation of 3-methylaspartate ammonia lyase reveals substrate molecular determinants for the deamination reaction.
The enzymatic reactions leading to the deamination of β-lysine, lysine, or 2-aminoadipic acid are of great interest for the metabolic conversion of lysine to adipic acid. Enzymes able to carry out these reactions are not known, however ammonia lyases (EC 4.3.1.-) perform deamination on a wide range...
