General description

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

Application

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

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.

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

The purification and the characteristics of an enzyme from Morganella morganii J-8, which could produce d-pseudoephedrine from 1-phenyl-2-methylamine-acetone, were performed in this study. In this research, first, cells were disrupted by ultrasonic treatment at 4 degrees C. The carbonyl enantioselective

Leucine dehydrogenase is an octameric enzyme which belongs to the superfamily of amino-acid dehydrogenases and catalyses the reversible oxidative deamination of leucine to 2-ketoisocaproate, with the corresponding reduction of the cofactor NAD(+). Catalysis by this enzyme is thought to involve
