PHENYLALANINE AMINOMUTASE WITH SELECTIVITY FOR S-FORM, DNA ENCODING THE SAME, METHOD FOR PRODUCING (S)-?-PHENYLALANINE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING (S)-?-PHENYLALANINE ANALOGS

摘要

According to the invention, a DNA encoding phenylalanine aminomutase with selectivity for S-form is acquired and (S)-ß-phenylalanine is produced from L-phenylalanine or cinnamic acid and ammonia using a transformant containing the DNA. Further, according to the invention, a DNA encoding phenylalanine aminomutase with selectivity for S-form is acquired and an (S)-ß-phenylalanine analog is produced from a corresponding L-phenylalanine analog using a transformant containing the DNA.
