racemization of arginine is a two-step mechanism, intermediate is 2-keto-arginine, a first enzyme (DauA) catalyzes oxidative deamination of D-arginine into 2-ketoarginine and ammonia, and the second enzyme DauB is able to use 2-ketoarginine and ammonia as substrates and convert them into L-arginine in the presence of NADPH or NADH, DauA and DauB are coupled catabolic and anabolic dehydrogenases to perform D-to-L racemization of arginine, which serves as prerequisite of D-arginine utilization through L-arginine catabolic pathways
