N-Acetyl-D-methionine may be used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterized N-acylamino acid racemase(s) and N-acyl-D-amino acid amidohydrolase(s).
European journal of biochemistry, 269(19), 4868-4878 (2002-10-02)
An N-acyl-d-amino acid amidohydrolase (N-D-AAase) was identified in cell extracts of a strain, Iso1, isolated from an environment containing N-acetyl-d-methionine. The bacterium was classified as Variovorax paradoxus by phylogenetic analysis. The gene was cloned and sequenced. The gene consisted of

N-acylamino acid racemase (NAAAR) catalyzes the racemization of N-acylamino acids and can be used in concert with an aminoacylase to produce enantiopure alpha-amino acids, a process that has potential industrial applications. Here we have cloned and characterized an NAAAR homologue

Aminoacylase I (EC 3.5.1.14) is one of the most abundant enzymes in the cortical region of mammalian kidney. Both the porcine and the human enzyme were overexpressed using baculovirus expression vector systems and purified by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and anion-exchange

Incubation of catechol with mushroom tyrosinase in the presence of N-acetylmethionine resulted in the generation of an adduct. This product was identified to be N-acetylmethionyl catechol, on the basis of spectral characteristics and well-characterized chemical reaction of o-benzoquinone with N-acetylmethionine.

Bromobenzene (800 mg/kg, ip) caused severe liver necrosis with massive hemorrhage in the golden Syrian hamster within the first 24 hr. Kidney injury was also observed. Treatment with N-acetylmethionine (NAM) at an ip dose of 1200 mg/kg at 5 hr
