Abstract

Two systems of redox enzymatic reactions were tested, looking forward to the preparation of (S)-3-fluoroalanine, a potent antibiotic, by kinetic resolution of rac-3-fluoroalanine. This starting material was the main substrate for the deaminative oxidation reaction catalyzed by l- alanine dehydrogenase (l-AlaDH) in the presence of NAD+. One system was formed by coupling this reaction (main reaction) to the reduction of 3-fluoropyruvate (a cascade ...
