Inverting enantioselectivity by directed evolution of hydantoinase for improved production of L-methionine

Article Abstract:

The hydantoinase process for producton of L-methionine (L-met) in Escherichia coli has been enhanced through the use of directed evolution. The researchers accomplished this by inverting the enantioselectivity and increasing the total activity of a key enzyme in a whole-cell catalyst.
