Abstract excerpt
Broad specificity amino acid racemase (E.C. 5.1.1.10) from Pseudomonas putida IFO 12996 (BAR) is a unique racemase because of its broad substrate specificity. BAR has been considered as a possible catalyst which directly converts inexpensive L-amino acids to DL-amino acid racemates. The gene encoding BAR was cloned to utilize BAR for the synthesis of D-amino acids, especially D-Trp which is an important...
