Biochem/physiol Actions

ω-transaminase catalyzes the removal of the amino group from an amino acid and attaches it to an α-keto acid, producing a new amino acid. Unlike α-transaminase, ω-transaminase shows catalytic activity towards primary amine compounds that do not have a carboxylic group.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Other Notes

1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which converts 1μmol S-α-methylbenzylamine to acetophenone per minute at pH 7.2 and 25°C (in the presence of pyruvate and pyridoxal-5-phosphate)

Alcaligenes denitrificans Y2k-2 was obtained by selective enrichment followed by screening from soil samples, which showed omega-amino acid:pyruvate transaminase activity, to kinetically resolve aliphatic beta-amino acid, and the corresponding structural gene (aptA) was cloned. The gene was functionally expressed in

Microorganisms that are capable of (S)-enantioselective transamination of chiral amines were isolated from soil samples by selective enrichment using (S)-alpha-methyl-benzylamine ((S)-alpha-MBA) as a sole nitrogen source. Among them, Klebsiella pneumoniae JS2F, Bacillus thuringiensis JS64, and Vibrio fluvialis JS17 showed good

The complete amino acid sequence of bacterial omega-amino acid:pyruvate aminotransferase (omega-APT) was determined from its primary structure. The enzyme protein was fragmented by CNBr cleavage, trypsin, and Staphylococcus aureus V8 digestions. The peptides were purified and sequenced by Edman degradation.
