Abstract: This disclosure relates to modified tryptophan synthase and more particularly to modified beta-subunits of tryptophan synthase. The disclosure further relates to cells expressing such modified subunits and methods of producing non-canonical amino acids.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for preparing ?-substituted tryptophan compounds. The methods include: combining i) an unsubstituted indole or a substituted indole, ii) a ?-substituted serine, and iii) a tryptophan synthase ?-subunit (i.e., a TrpB); and maintaining the resulting mixture under conditions sufficient to form the ?-substituted tryptophan. The TrpB contains at least one amino acid mutation which promotes formation of an amino-acrylate intermediate. New TrpB variants and new ?-substituted tryptophan analogs are also described.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for preparing tryptophans and tryptophan derivatives. The methods include: combining i) an indole substrate or azulene substrate, ii) a serine substrate, and iii) an engineered tryptophan synthase ?-subunit (TrpB); and maintaining the resulting mixture under conditions sufficient to form the product compound. The engineered TrpB comprises a PLP binding loop mutation, a helix 1 mutation, a strand 7-8 mutation, or a combination thereof. New TrpB variants are also described.
