      L‐2,4‐diaminobutyric acid (DABA) aminotransferases can catalyze the formation of amines at the distal ω‐position of substrates, and is the intial and rate‐limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis pathway of the cytoprotecting molecule (S)‐2‐methyl‐1,4,5,6‐tetrahydro‐4‐pyrimidine carboxylic acid (ectoine). Although there is an industrial interest in the biosynthesis of ectoine, the DABA aminotransferases ...
