Outline of Final Research Achievements

Enzymes involved in the cleavage and synthesis of a carbon-nitrogen bond (except for the peptide bond) are very important in applied as well as academic fields. In this project, we tried to elucidate the function of enzymes involved in the cleavage and synthesis of a carbon-nitrogen bond. Moreover, we constructed fundamental techniques for the production of useful compounds using their catalytic activities.
