Acylation of Amino Acids by Aminoacylase in Non-Conventional Media

Enzymatic synthesis ofN‐acyl‐l‐amino acids in a glycerol‐water system using acylase I from pig kidney

“…A number of studies have been reported on the enzymatic synthesis of N-short-chain acyl-L-amino acids particularly using aminoacylase (6)(7)(8)(9). It has been reported, for instance, that Nacetyl-L-methionine is synthesized effectively when the reaction mixture contains 3.2% water in ethyl acetate (8).…”
