Cyclic imide-transforming activity was found to be widely distributed in bacteria, yeast and molds. This activity was not correlated with cyclic ureide-transforming activity in bacteria, but there was some correlation in yeast and molds. These two activities are probably catalyzed

The conformational space of 5-acetic acid hydantoin {5AAH; [2-(2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-yl)acetic acid]} was investigated by quantum chemical calculations performed at the DFT(B3LYP)/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. A total of 13 conformers were located in the potential energy surface of the molecule, six of

Overexpression of a novel hydantoinase (hyuH) from P. aeruginosa (MCM B-887) in E. coli yielded optically pure carbamoyl amino acids. The use of optically pure carbamoyl amino acids as substrates facilitates the synthesis of non-proteinogenic amino acids. The enzyme hyuH
