title = "A novel l-amino acid ligase from bacillus licheniformis",
abstract = "l-Amino acid α-ligase (EC 6.3.2.28) catalyzed formation of α-peptide bond in unprotected l-amino acids in an ATP-dependent manner. BL00235 gene in Bacillus licheniformis NBRC12200 coded as a new l-amino acid ligase. BL00235 substrate specificity was strict; only methionine or leucine was acceptable as dipeptide N-terminal residues.",
