How an important enzyme used in drug production recognizes its substrate

Monday, August 3, 2015 - 19:50 in Health & Medicine

The mechanism by which an enzyme used in industrial production of an important drug for type-2 diabetes recognizes its target has been demonstrated by a group of researchers. This finding will further design of novel biocatalysts for industrial production of chiral amine compounds, crucial building blocks in the synthesis of some pharmaceutical drugs.
