synthesis | a prominent example for beta-amino acids in pharmaceuticals is beta-phenylalanine, present in the natural substance paclitaxel (Taxol), which is a prominent anti-cancer agent. Method development for production of chiral beta-phenylalanine ethyl ester, which can be chemically or enzymatically hydrolyzed to (R)- or (S)-phenylalanine. Asymmetric synthesis of the beta-phenylalanine ethyl ester an upscaling, overview | uncultured bacterium |

additional information | development of beta-phenylalanine ester synthesis method from stable beta-keto ester substrate using engineered omega-transaminase. The omega-transaminase mutants 3FCR_4M and ATA117 11Rd show great potential for further engineering experiments aiming at the synthesis of chiral (S)- and (R)-phenylalanine esters. This alternative approach results in the conversion of 32% and 13% for the (S)- and (R)-enantiomer, respectively. Furthermore, the (S)-phenylalanine ethyl ester is isolated by performing a semi-preparative synthesis | uncultured bacterium |

additional information | the reaction mechanism of transaminase-catalyzed reactions consists of two half-reactions and is described as a ping-pong-bi-bi mechanism. The widespread alpha-TAs are limited to alpha-amino acids, containing the amino or keto group in the alpha position to a carboxylic function. In contrast, omega-TAs are able to transfer amino groups in different positions to the carboxylic moiety or even in the absence of carboxylic functions | uncultured bacterium |
