Abstract

Abstract The industrial alkaline protease, alcalase, is stable and active in a high concentration of organic solvents and useful as a biocatalyst for (i) diastereoselective hydrolysis of peptide esters and preparation of racemization-free peptides;(ii) selective incorporation of esters of D-amino acid into peptides in t-butanol via a selective hydrolysis of esters of D, L-amino acid, followed by using the unhydrolyzed D-esters as a nucleophile in ...
