Engineering Promiscuous Alcohol Dehydrogenase Activity of a Reductive Aminase AspRedAm for Selective Reduction of Biobased Furans

Catalytic promiscuity is a promising starting point for improving the existing enzymes and even creating novel enzymes. In this work, site-directed mutagenesis was performed to improve promiscuous alcohol dehydrogenase activity of reductive aminase from Aspergillus oryzae (AspRedAm). AspRedAm showed...
