Synthesis of enantio-pure amides by reversal of the Geobacillus pallidus RAPc8 amidase hydrolysis reaction in non-aqueous media
Amidases are hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of amides to their corresponding carboxylic acids and ammonia. Amidases are ubiquitous in nature, and they have been isolated from a wide range of microorganisms, the most common source being bacteria. Amidases are recognized as potential...
