This invention relates generally to enzymes, polynucleotides encoding the enzymes, the use of such polynucleotides and polypeptides and more specifically to enzymes having isomerase activity, e.g., racemase activity, e.g., amino acid racemase activity, alanine racemase activity, and/or epimerase activity, and/or catalyze the re-, arrangement of atoms within a molecule, catalyze the conversion of one isomer into another, catalyze the conversion of an optically active substrate into a raceme, which is optically inactive, catalyze the interconversion of substrate enantiomers, catalyze the stereochemical inversion around the asymmetric carbon atom in a substrate having only one center of asymmetry, catalyze the stereochemical inversion of the configuration around an asymmetric carbon atom in a substrate having more than one asymmetric center, and/or catalyze the racemization of amino acids. Thus, the invention provides enzymes, compositions, methods for production of pharmaceutical compositions, pharmaceutical intermerdiates, antibiotics, sweeteners, peptide enzymes, peptide hormones, fuel and fuel additive compositions, foods and food additives, beverage and beverage additives, feeds and feed additives, drugs and drug additives, dietary supplements, textiles, wood, paper, pulp, and detergents comprising the polypeptides or polynucleotides in accordance with the invention.
本发明涉及酶、编码该酶的多核苷酸、使用这种多核苷酸和多肽的方法,更具体地涉及具有异构酶活性的酶,例如旋光酶活性,例如氨基酸旋光酶活性、丙氨酸旋光酶活性和/或表观异构酶活性,以及/或在分子内催化原子的重排,催化一种异构体转化为另一种异构体,催化光学活性底物转化为光学不活性的混合物,催化底物对映异构体的互变,催化只有一个不对称中心的底物中的不对称碳原子周围的立体化学反转,催化具有多个不对称中心的底物中的不对称碳原子周围的构型立体化学反转,和/或催化氨基酸的旋光化。因此,本发明提供了酶、组成物、制药组成物的生产方法、制药中间体、抗生素、甜味剂、肽酶、肽激素、燃料和燃料添加剂组成物、食品和食品添加剂、饮料和饮料添加剂、饲料和饲料添加剂、药物和药物添加剂、膳食补充剂、纺织品、木材、纸浆和洗涤剂,其中包括本发明所述的多肽或多核苷酸。
