Abstract

Several commercially available nitrilases were investigated with regard to their potential to hydrolyze N-protected β3-amino nitriles into their corresponding N-protected β3-amino acids. The biotransformations were obtained in different proportions depending on the nitrilase involved. The best hydrolysis results were achieved for the N-Cbz-β3-amino nitrile from l-alanine using the NIT-107, in a phosphate buffer at 0.05 M. However, no ...
