Enzymatic resolution of amino acids via ester hydrolysis

T Miyazawa. Amino Acids. 1999.

Abstract

The present review outlines recent examples of enzyme-based resolution procedures for amino acids via the hydrolysis of their esters. The resolutions have been achieved by using proteases (alpha-chymotrypsin, subtilisin and other microbial proteases, and sulfhydryl proteases of plant origin) and lipases. Relevant work utilizing yeast and other microbial cells is also included.
