The present invention relates to a method for the enzymatic decarboxylation of malonic acid (propanedioic acid) derivatives catalyzed by enzymes structurally and/or functionally related to arylmalonate decarboxylase (AMDase) as isolated from microorganisms of the genus Bordetella. The present invention also relates to novel enzymes with a decarboxylase activity, useful for performing the claimed method, mutants thereof, corresponding coding sequences and expression systems, methods of preparing said novel enzymes, and screening methods for obtaining further suitable enzymes also having said decarboxylase activity.
本发明涉及一种
丙二酸(
丙二酸)衍
生物的酶促脱羧方法,该方法由结构上和/或功能上与芳基
丙二酸脱羧酶(
AMDase)有关的酶催化,这些酶是从博德特氏菌属微
生物中分离出来的。本发明还涉及具有脱羧酶活性的新型酶,可用于实施所要求的方法、其突变体、相应的编码序列和表达系统、制备所述新型酶的方法,以及获得同样具有所述脱羧酶活性的其他合适酶的筛选方法。
