Popis: This study aimed to improve the catalytic activity of aspartate kinase (AK), the first key rate-limiting enzyme in the aspartic acid metabolism pathway, by site-directed saturation mutagenesis, and to weaken the synergistic feedback inhibition of metabolites and analyze its mechanism using molecular dynamics simulation (MD). The key residual sites around the inhibitor lysine (Lys) were selected to construct the mutant strains. The mutant A380M with significantly increased enzyme activity was obtained through enzyme activity screening. Kinetic analysis showed that the V
