Screening was carried out for microorganisms able to produce N-(l-alpha-l-aspartyl)-l-phenylalanine methyl ester [APM] from l-isoasparagine and l-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride. Of the 422 strains examined, 44 strains belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae were found to produce APM. The enzyme catalyzing
The PST-01 protease is a metalloprotease that has zinc ion at the active center and is very stable in the presence of water-soluble organic solvents. The reaction rates and the equilibrium yields of the aspartame precursor N-carbobenzoxy-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (Cbz-Asp-Phe-OMe)

1. Programmed cell death proceeds by an unknown mechanism which results in characteristic morphological changes known as apoptosis. 2. We have proposed that, in hormone-induced apoptosis, cell death may be the result of an attack of cells destined to die
This study reports for the first time that binding of aromatic methyl ester analogs to Dopa decarboxylase in the native and inactive nicked forms causes the appearance of a dead-end quinonoidal species absorbing at 500 nm, in addition to an
The direct one-step synthesis of L-phenylalanine methyl ester in an organic-aqueous biphasic system using phenylalanine ammonia lyase (E.C.4.3.1.5, PAL) containing Rhodotorula glutinis yeast whole cells was reported earlier. We report here further optimization of this biotransformation using isolated PAL, when
