Highly selective synthesis of d-amino acids via stereoinversion of corresponding counterpart by an in vivo cascade cell factory

Abstract Background d-Amino acids are increasingly used as building blocks to produce pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. However, establishing a universal biocatalyst for the general synthesis of d-amino acids from cheap and readily available precursors with few by-products is challenging. In this...
