Enzymatic synthesis of carnosine derivatives catalysed by Burkholderia cepacia lipase
摘要:
A new enzymatic synthesis of alpha,beta-dipeptides has been developed with particular focus on the preparation of camosine (beta-alanyl-alpha-histidine) and analogues. The lipase PS-D from Burkholderia cepacia has been used as a catalyst for the formation of the peptide bond starting from a beta-lactam and a protected alpha-amino acid. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
