A pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme platform for stereoselective synthesis of γ-tertiary-nitro-noncanonical amino acids

Non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) are privileged building blocks for the synthesis of natural products, biocatalysts, and drug molecules. Among them, γ-tertiary-nitro-α-amino acids are highly valuable yet remain scarcely explored due to challenges in synthetic accessibility. Although pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP)-depend...
