Transglutaminases (TGs) play important roles in the food industry, pharmacology, and biotechnology, but as protein cross‐linkers, their complexes are stable, resistant, immunogenic, and potentially pathogenic. Many TGs have been characterized, but they operate in narrow temperature and pH range limi...
