d-Phenylglycine aminotransferase (d-PhgAT) catalyzes the reversible transamination of d-phenylglycine to l-glutamate with 2-oxoglutarate as the amino-group acceptor. Crystals of substrate-free Pseudomonas stutzeri d-PhgAT bound to the cofactor pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant. The crystals belong to space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 75.155, c = 147.554 A. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of d-PhgAT and has a solvent content of 50.0%. A complete native X-ray diffraction data set was collected from a single crystal at 100 K to a resolution of 2.3 A.

Purification of valuable engineered proteins and enzymes can be laborious, costly, and generating large amount of chemical waste. Whilst enzyme immobilization can enhance recycling and reuse of enzymes, conventional methods for immobilizing engineered enzymes from purified samples are also inefficient with multiple-step protocols, regarding both the carrier preparation and enzyme binding. Nickel ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (NiFeO MNPs) offer distinct advantages in both purification and immobilization of enzymes.

Various host systems have been employed to increase the yield of recombinant proteins. However, some recombinant proteins were successfully produced at high yields but with no functional activities. To achieve both high protein yield and high activities, molecular biological strategies have been continuously developed.

Background: D-Phenylglycine aminotransferase (D-PhgAT) is highly beneficial in pharmaceutical biotechnology. Like many other enzymes, D-PhgAT suffers from low stability under harsh processing conditions, poor solubility of substrate, products and occasional microbial contamination. Incorporation of miscible organic solvents into the enzyme's reaction is considered as a solution for these problems; however, native D-PhgAT is not significantly stable in such solvents.

Aromatic d-amino acids are key precursors for the production of many small molecule therapeutics. Therefore, the development of biocatalytic methods for their synthesis is of great interest. An enzyme that has great potential as a biocatalyst for the synthesis of d-amino acids is the stereoinverting d-phenylglycine aminotransferase (DPAT) from Pseudomonas stutzeri ST-201.

A new PLP assay method based on the coenzyme activation of apo-d-phenylglycine aminotransferase (apo-d-PhgAT) is reported. The assay process is comprised of two steps. First, PLP present in plasma samples is allowed to reconstitute apo-d-PhgAT, forming active holo-d-PhgAT.
