Abstract excerpt
The aminoacylase-1/metallopeptidase 20 (Acy1/M20) family features several l-aminoacylases useful in biocatalysis. Mammalian Acy1, in particular, has been applied in racemic resolution and reverse hydrolysis. Despite recent advances in our understanding of the active site architecture and functioning, determinants of Acy1 substrate specificity have remained uncharted. Comparison to bacterial homologues points to a...
