Access to vitamin B<sub>5</sub> [(R)-pantothenic acid] and both diastereoisomers of α-methyl-substituted vitamin B<sub>5</sub> [(R)- and (S)-3-((R)-2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethylbutanamido)-2-methylpropanoic acid] was achieved using a modular three-step biocatalytic cascade involving 3-methylaspartate ammonia lyase (MAL), aspartate-α-decarboxylase (ADC), β-methylaspartate-α-decarboxylase (CrpG) or glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), and pantothenate synthetase (PS) enzymes. Starting from simple non-chira ...[more]
