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

Previous studies have shown that alteration of the dietary arginine-methionine balance by use of synthetic L-amino acids inhibits tumor growth of a subcutaneously transplanted Morris hepatoma at the expense of maintaining body weight. However, L-methionine is susceptible to degradation and

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

The reaction of N-acetylmethionine (N-AcMet) with the complex [Pt(Et(2)en)(D(2)O)(2)](2+) (Et(2)en=N,N-diethylethylenediamine) was studied by NMR spectroscopy and molecular mechanics calculations. Complexes containing two methionine residues coordinated to the platinum atom were calculated to be relatively high in energy unless the bulk
