The use of 2-ketoacids is very common in feeds, food additives, and pharmaceuticals, and 2-ketoacids are valuable precursors for a plethora of chemically diverse compounds. Biocatalytic synthesis of 2-ketoacids starting from L-amino acids would be highly desirable because the substrates are readily available from biomass feedstock. Here, we report bioinformatic exploration of a series of aminotransferases (ATs) to achieve the desired conversion. Thermodynamic control was achieved by coupling an L-glutamate oxidation reaction in the cascade for the recycling of the amine acceptor. These enzymes were able to convert a majority of proteinogenic amino acids into the corresponding 2-ketoacids with high conversion (up to 99%) extendable, and one-pot two-step processes were established for the synthesis of D-amino acids and N-methylated amino acids, achieving great overall conversion (up to 99%) and high ee values (>99%). These developed enzymatic methodologies offer convenient routes for utilizing amino acids as synthetic reagents.
