Revisiting D‐Acylases for D‐Amino Acid Production
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2025.Enzymatic D‐acylase/N‐succinyl‐amino acid racemase tandem for the production of optically pure D‐amino acids and structural basis for D‐acylase substrate recognition. ABSTRACT N‐Acyl‐D‐amino acid deacylases (EC 3.5.1.81, also known as D‐acylases) have been studied for decades for their utility in the kinetic resolution of N‐acetyl‐D,L‐amino acids (NAAs)

Using a nitrilase for the surface modification of acrylic fibres [PDF]
, 2007 The surface of an acrylic fibre was modified with a commercial nitrilase (EC 3.5.5.1). The effect of fibre solvents and polyols on nitrilase catalysis efficiency and stability was investigated.

The Tn916/Tn1545 Family of Conjugative Transposon [PDF]
, 2013 The conjugative transposon Tn916 was first discovered in the late 1970s and is, together with the related conjugative transposon Tn1545, the paradigm of a large family of related conjugative transposons known as the Tn916/Tn1545 family, which are found ...

Evidence for the Early Evolutionary Loss of the M20D Auxin Amidohydrolase Family from Mosses and Horizontal Gene Transfer from Soil Bacteria of Cryptic Hydrolase Orthologues to Physcomitrella patens [PDF]
, 2019 Inactive auxin conjugates are accumulated in plants and hydrolyzed to recover phytohormone action. A family of metallopeptidase orthologues has been conserved in Plantae to help regulate auxin homeostatic levels during growth and development.
