Enzymes Responsible for the Conversion of Nα-[(Benzyloxy)carbonyl]-D-lysine to Nα-[(Benzyloxy)carbonyl]-D-aminoadipic Acid by Rhodococcus sp. AIU Z-35-1
The enzymesresponsible for the conversion of N(alpha)-[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]-D-lysine (N(alpha)-Z-D-lysine) to N(alpha)-Z-D-aminoadipic acid (N(alpha)-Z-D-AAA) by Rhodococcussp. AIUZ-35-1 were identified. N(alpha)-Z-D-Lysine was first converted to N(alpha)-Z-D-aminoadipic delta-semialdehyde (N(alpha)-Z-D-AASA) by D-specific amino acid deaminase, whereas N(alpha)-Z-L-lysine was converted to N(alpha)-Z-L-AASA
