Abstract
Leucine dehydrogenase catalyzes the asymmetric reductive amination of ketoacids to produce valuable chiral unnatural amino acids, but its application is often constrained by substrate inhibition. Here we employed a rational engineering strategy to alleviate substrate inhibition by enhancing the dissociation efficiency of NAD+. Notably, the variant H184A exhibited a 1.53-fold increase in enzyme activity and a 58% improvement in the half-maximal inhibitory concentration for 2-oxobutyric acid, alleviating substrate inhibition.

期刊介绍:
Biotechnology Journal (2019 Journal Citation Reports: 3.543) is fully comprehensive in its scope and publishes strictly peer-reviewed papers covering novel aspects and methods in all areas of biotechnology. Some issues are devoted to a special topic, providing the latest information on the most crucial areas of research and technological advances.
In addition to these special issues, the journal welcomes unsolicited submissions for primary research articles, such as Research Articles, Rapid Communications and Biotech Methods. BTJ also welcomes proposals of Review Articles - please send in a brief outline of the article and the senior author''s CV to the editorial office.
BTJ promotes a special emphasis on:
Systems Biotechnology
Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering
Nanobiotechnology and Biomaterials
Tissue engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem cells
Gene Editing, Gene therapy and Immunotherapy
Omics technologies
Industrial Biotechnology, Biopharmaceuticals and Biocatalysis
Bioprocess engineering and Downstream processing
Plant Biotechnology
