PENICILLIN ACYLASE COMPLEXED WITH 3,4-DIHYDROXYPHENYLACETIC ACID
Overview
The enzyme penicillin acylase (penicillin amidohydrolase EC 3.5.1. 11), catalyses the cleavage of the amide bond in the benzylpenicillin, (penicillin G) side-chain to produce phenylacetic acid and, 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). The enzyme is of great pharmaceutical, importance, as the product 6-APA is the starting point for the synthesis, of many semi-synthetic penicillin antibiotics. Studies have shown that the, enzyme is specific for hydrolysis of phenylacetamide derivatives, but is, more tolerant of features in the rest of the substrate. It is this, property that has led to many other applications for the enzyme, and, greater knowledge of the enzyme's structure and specificity could, facilitate engineering of the enzyme, enhancing its potential for chemical, and industrial ...
