Abstract:Bacterial arylmalonate decarboxylase (AMDase) is an intriguing cofactor-independent enzyme with a broad substrate spectrum. Particularly, the highly stereoselective transformation of diverse arylmalonic acids into the corresponding chiral α-arylpropionates has contributed to the broad recognition of this biocatalyst. While, more than 30 years after its discovery, the native substrate and function of AMDase still remain undiscovered, contributions from multiple fields have ever since brought forth a powerful co… Show more
