SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
2-aminohexano-6-lactam racemase
Contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. Also racemises 2-aminopentano-5-lactam (alpha-amino-delta-valerolactam) and 2-amino-4-thiahexano-6-lactam (where S replaces CH2 of C-4). It does not catalyse the racemisation of alpha-amino acids but has some transaminase activity with them.

LITERATURE
additional information
-
300 U/liter culture; the effect of the concentration of L-alanine amide on the racemization reaction catalyzed by ACL racemase is investigated. Formation of D-alanine amide increases when the concentration of L-alanine amide is increased from 0.6 M to 1.2 M, indicating that the enzyme activity is not inhibited by the high substrate concentration

the effect of pH on D- or L-alanine production from L- or D-alanine amide with D-aminopeptidase or L-Aminoacid amide hydrolase in the presence of ACL racemase is investigated. Racemization is performed by ACL racemase at pH values of 6.5 to 9.2, and the maximum rate of conversion is found at pH 7.5 and at a temperature of around 45°C
