An Engineered β-Aminopeptidase With Better Product Selectivity for L-Carnosine Production.

Efficient enzymaticsynthesis of L-carnosine (L-Car) is often limited by competing hydrolysis and side reactions that reduce substrate utilization and product yield. In this study, a β-aminopeptidase (CbAP) from Caulobacter sp. was systematically engineered to enhance catalytic selectivity toward L-Car using β-alaninami...
