abstract Amino acid amide racemizing activity was discovered in -amino--caprolactam (ACL) racemase (EC 5. 1. 1. 15) from Achromobacter obae. The enzymatic synthesis of D-alanine from L-alanine amide has been demonstrated by use of D-aminopeptidase (DAP; EC 3. 4. 11. 19) from Ochrobactrum anthropi C1-38 and ACL racemase. The conversion of 45 mM L-alanine amide was carried out at 30 C for 7 h; L-alanine amide was completely converted to D-alanine, and no L-alanine was detected. The result of successive enzymatic reaction shows that the combination of ACL racemase and DAP can be applied for dynamic kinetic resolution of DL-amino acid amides to yield D-amino acids.
