Abstract:Fluorinated amino acids are a promising entry point for incorporating new-to-Nature chemistries in biological systems. Hence, novel methods are needed for the selective synthesis of these building blocks. In this study, we focused on the enzymatic synthesis of fluorinated alanine enantiomers. To this end, the alanine dehydrogenase fromVibrio proteolyticusand the diaminopimelate dehydrogenase fromSymbiobacterium thermophilumwere applied to thein vitroproduction of (R)-3-fluoroalanine and (S)-3-fluoroalanine, re… Show more
