Background
Transaminases, also known as aminotransferases, are a class of enzymes that play a pivotal role in various biological processes. These enzymes are fundamental in the realm of pharmaceutical and biotechnology research due to their ability to catalyze the transfer of amino groups between different molecules. This group-transfer reaction is vital in the biosynthesis of amino acids, making it indispensable for protein production and many other biochemical pathways.
