Cyanophycin is a natural polymer composed of a poly-aspartate backbone with arginine attached
to each of the aspartate sidechains. Produced by a wide range of bacteria, which mainly use it as
a store of fixed nitrogen, it has many promising industrial applications. Cyanophycin can be
synthesized from the amino acids Asp and Arg by the widespread cyanophycin synthetase 1
(CphA1), or from the dipeptide β-Asp-Arg by the cyanobacteria...
