the immobilized acylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-acetyl-DL-amino acid to L-amino acid, the D-form is not attacked
Unit Definition
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes 1 μmol N-acetyl-L-methionine per minute at pH 8.0 and 25°C
Reconstitution
Standard procedure: a 10-20% substrate solution, pH 6-8, with an addition of CoCl2 (10-4 moles) at 33°C was used. Prior to use the polymer was washed with water (50 times bed volumes); when used in a fixed bed reactor, a velocity of flow of 3 bed volumes/h leads to a hydrolysis degree of 80%
Analysis Note
moist pearls (dried substance ~30%, pearl diameter 50-100 μm), covalent fixation of the acylase
Other Notes
The immobilized acylase is used for the convenient resolution of amino acids via the selective deacetylation of N-acetyl-L-amino acids in DL-racemates[1][2][3][4]

Bacteria are frequently exposed to cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) from eukaryotic hosts (host defence peptides) or from prokaryotic competitors (bacteriocins). However, many bacteria, among them most of the major human pathogens, achieve CAMP resistance by MprF, a unique enzyme that
