SsDesB modeled with cadaverine

Characterization of SsDesB

Biocatalysts are promising green technologies used in the chemical industry with increasing commercial demand. Enzymes are powerful biocatalysts as they can quickly direct the selectivity of a chemical process, utilize lower temperatures, and be combined with other enzymes in one-pot reactions under nontoxic conditions. To find suitable biocatalysts, natural product biosynthetic enzymes are useful starting points, as they are involved in making structurally diverse, chiral molecules.
