摘要:
Method of resolving stereoselectively racemic 2-alkyl-5-halopent-4-ene-carboxylic esters of the formula (I) in which R is a C1-C6-alkyl radical, R1 is C1-C4-alkyl and X is chlorine, bromine or iodine, by contacting a racemic ester of formula (I) with a polypeptide or recombinant protein having esterase activity and exhibiting an amino acid sequence that is at least 98% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID. No. 1.
摘要:
The invention relates to biochemical synthesis of 6-amino caproic acid from 6-aminohex-2-enoic acid compound or from 6-amino-2-hydroxyhexanoic acid, by treatment with an enzyme having α,β-enoate reductase activity towards molecules containing an α,β-enoate group and a primary amino group. The invention also relates to processes for obtaining suitable genetically engineered cells for being used in such biotransformation process, and to precursor fermentation of 6-amino caproic acid from intermediates leading to 6-amino caproic acid. Finally, the invention relates to certain novel biochemically produced compounds, namely 6-aminohex-2-enoic acid, 6-aminohexanoic acid, as well as to caprolactam produced therefrom and to nylon-6 and other derivatives produced from such biochemically produced compounds or caprolactam.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine wherein L-3,4,-dihydroxyphenylalanine is produced in a fermentation medium by aerobic fermentation of a recombinant microorganism having L-tyro-sine-3-hydroxy-mono-oxygenase activity and at least the metabolic pathways: glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, aromatic amino acid pathway, or derivative pathways thereof, which process comprises (i) a growth phase and a production phase, wherein L-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine is produced in the fermentation medium, and 10 (ii) a downstream processing phase, and in which process L-3,4-dihydroxy phenylalanine is produced from a carbon source and the pH is in the range of from 1 to 7 during at least part of the production phase and/or downstream processing phase.
