Discovery of cyanophycin dipeptide hydrolase enzymes suggests widespread utility of the natural biopolymer cyanophycin

Cyanophycin is a bacterial polymer mainly used for nitrogen storage. It is composed of a peptide backbone of L-aspartate residues with L-arginines attached to their side chains through isopeptide bonds. Cyanophycin is degraded in two steps: Cyanophycinase cleaves the polymer into β-Asp-Arg dipeptide...
