Using directed evolution, we have selected an adipyl acylase enzyme that can be used for a one-step bioconversion of adipyl-7-aminodesacetoxycephalosporanic acid (adipyl-7-ADCA) to 7-ADCA, an important compound for the synthesis of semisynthetic cephalosporins. The starting point for the directed evolution

One of the building blocks of cephalosporin antibiotics is 7-amino-deacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA). It is currently produced from penicillin G using an elaborate chemical ring-expansion step followed by an enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis. However, 7-ADCA-like components can also be produced by direct fermentation.

Penicillin acylase catalyses the hydrolysis and synthesis of semisynthetic beta-lactam antibiotics via formation of a covalent acyl-enzyme intermediate. The kinetic and mechanistic aspects of these reactions were studied. Stopped-flow experiments with the penicillin and ampicillin analogues 2-nitro-5-phenylacetoxy-benzoic acid (NIPAOB) and
