== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TRPB1_PYRFU TRPB1_PYRFU] The beta subunit is responsible for the synthesis of L-tryptophan from indole and L-serine (By similarity).

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) with dual stereocenters at the alpha and beta positions are valuable precursors to natural products and therapeutics. Despite the potential applications of such bioactive beta-branched ncAAs, their availability is limited due to the inefficiency of the multi-step methods used to prepare them. Here we report a stereoselective biocatalytic synthesis of beta-branched tryptophan analogs using an engineered variant of Pyrococcus furiosus tryptophan synthase (PfTrpB), PfTrpB7E6. PfTrpB7E6 is the first biocatalyst to synthesize bulky beta-branched tryptophan analogs in a single step, with demonstrated access to 27 ncAAs. The molecular basis for the efficient catalysis and broad substrate tolerance of PfTrpB7E6 was explored through X-ray crystallography and UV-visible light spectroscopy, which revealed that a combination of active-site and remote mutations increase the abundance and persistence of a key reactive intermediate. PfTrpB7E6 provides an operationally simple and environmentally benign platform for preparation of beta-branched tryptophan building blocks.
