Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
additional information alkylation of a cysteine residue in papain with a pyridoxamine results in a semi-synthetic enzyme papain-PX that has no detectable protease activity but has the ability to catalyze enantioselective reductive amination of alpha-keto acids such as alpha-ketoglutarate and pyruvate. Papain-PX reductively aminates the alkyl side chain of functionalized alpha-keto acids to give the respective alpha-amino acids with enantioselectivities greater than 70% Carica papaya
