General description

L-Leucine Dehydrogenase is a member of the amino acid dehydrogenase family.[1]

Application

L-Leucine Dehydrogenase from Bacillus cereus has been used to determine the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) spectrophotometrically in serum samples.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Leucine Dehydrogenase is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen (NADH)-dependent oxidoreductase. It is involved in catalyzing the reductive amination of aliphatic 2-oxo-acids to their respective L-amino acids.[3]

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of L‑leucine to α-ketoisocaproate per min at pH 10.5 at 37 °C.

Other Notes

contains lysine

Unnatural amino acids (UAAs) play a key role in modern medicinal chemistry such as small molecules and peptide-based drugs with fast-growing markets. Low efficiency for natural enzymes including leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH, EC1.4.1.9) are one major challenge for UAA production. Here

A liquid chromatographic system with a co-immobilized leucine dehydrogenase-NADH oxidase reactor is described for the determination of branched-chain amino acids such as I-leucine, I-isoleucine and I-valine. The enzymes were simultaneously immobilized on tresylate-containing poly(vinyl alcohol) beads. The separation was achieved

X-ray crystallographic studies revealed that various amino acid dehydrogenases fold into two domains in each subunit, a substrate-binding domain and an NAD(P)(+)-binding domain (Baker, P. J., Turnbull, A. P., Sedelnikova, S. E., Stillman, T. J., and Rice, D. W. (1995)

Plasma amino acid concentrations fall during insulin infusion. Amino acid concentrations can be maintained using an infusion of amino acids if their plasma concentration can be determined within a few minutes. We developed a spectrophometric assay which determines the total

A series of novel 3-substituted 2-oxobutanoic acids were prepared and incubated with leucine dehydrogenase giving in one case both a kinetic resolution at C-3 and reductive amination of the ketone. This is the first example of an amino acid dehydrogenase
