A new and convenient stereocontrolled synthesis of the optically pure (S)-alpha-methyl,alpha-amino acids 6(a-d) that exploits the chiral synthon 1,4-N,N-[(S)-1-phenylethyl]-piperazine-2,5-dione (1) is described. The (S)-1-phenylethyl group, bonded to each of the N-atoms of the 2,5-diketopiperazine, acts as a chiral inductor in

A dihydropyrimidinase gene (pydB) was cloned from the moderate thermophilic Brevibacillus agri NCHU1002 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified dihydropyrimidinase exhibited strict d-enantioselectivity for D,L-p-hydroxyphenylhydantoin and D,L-5-[2-(methylthio)ethyl]hydantoin, and non-enantiospecificity for D,L-homophenylalanylhydantoin (D,L-HPAH). The hydrolytic activity of PydB was enhanced
