Abstract

Abstract Mutant α-amino-ε-caprolactam (ACL) racemase (L19V/L78T) from Achromobacter obae with improved substrate specificity toward phenylalaninamide was obtained by directed evolution. The mutant ACL racemase and thermostable mutant D-amino acid amidase (DaaA) from Ochrobactrum anthropi SV3 co-expressed in Escherichia coli (pACLmut/pDBFB40) were utilized for synthesis of (R)-phenylalanine and non-natural (R)- ...
