Abstract
Isotopologs are powerful tools for investigating biological systems. We report a biosynthetic-cascade synthesis of Trp isotopologs starting from indole, glycine, and formaldehyde using the enzymes l-threonine aldolase and an engineered β-subunit of tryptophan synthase. This modular route to Trp isotopologs is simple and inexpensive, enabling facile access to these compounds.Entities:
