    Using directed evolution, we have selected an adipyl acylase enzyme that can be used for a one-step bioconversion of adipyl-7-aminodesacetoxycephalosporanic acid (adipyl-7-ADCA) to 7-ADCA, an important compound for the synthesis of semisynthetic cephalosporins. The starting point for the directed evolution

    A new hydrophobic and catalytic membrane was prepared by immobilizing Penicillin G acylase (PGA, EC.3.5.1.11) from E. coli on a nylon membrane, chemically grafted with butylmethacrylate (BMA). Hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) and glutaraldehyde (Glu) were used as a spacer and coupling agent

    The effect of methanol on the kinetically controlled synthesis of cephalexin by free and immobilized penicillin G acylase (PGA) was investigated. Catalytic and hydrophobic membranes were obtained by chemical grafting, activation, and PGA immobilization on hydrophobic nylon supports. Butyl methacrylate

    Adipyl-7-ADCA is a new source for 7-aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA), one of the substrates for antibiotics synthesis. In this paper, a novel process for enzymatic 7-ADCA production is presented. The process consists of a reactor, a crystallization step, a membrane separation
