Mutagenesis of the <span style="font-variant: small-caps">l</span>-Amino Acid Ligase RizA Increased the Production of Bioactive Dipeptides

The <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l</span>-amino acid ligase RizA from <i>B. subtilis</i> selectively synthesizes dipeptides containing an N-terminal arginine. Many arginyl dipeptides have salt-taste enhancing properties while Arg-Phe has been found to hav...
