The arginine decarboxylase showed the maximum activity when the pyridoxal phosphate(PLP) concentration was 50 mmol/L, pH=7 and 45 °C. The arginine decarboxylase exhibited the maximum production efficiency when the substrate concentration was 100 mmol/L and the reaction time was 15 h. It was also observed that the appropriate concentration of Mg2+, especially at 0.5 mmol/L promoted the arginine decarboxylase activity; Mn2+ had little effect on the arginine decarboxylase activity. The inhibition of Cu2+ and Zn2+ to the arginine decarboxylase activity was significant. The immobilized cells were continuously used 6 times and the average conversion rate during the six-time usage was 55.6%. The immobilized cells exhibited favourable operational stability. After optimization, the maximally cumulative amount of agmatine could be up to 20 g/L. In addition, this method can also catalyze D,L-arginine to agmatine, leaving the pure optically D-arginine simultaneously. The method has a very important guiding significance to the enzymatic preparation of agmatine.展开更多

The demand for alkoxy-L-serines in the pharmaceutical industries continues to increase because of their multiple physiological effects. In this research, an improved method for alkoxy-L-serines synthesis is reported. A series of substrates, DL-fl-alkoxy-a-amino propionamides, was used for the synthesis of alkoxy-serines catalyzed by Escherichia coli cells with peptidase B(PepB) activity. The results show that PepB has a high resolution activity with DL-fl-alkoxy-a-amino propionamides as substrate. Reaction conditions were optimized, i.e., DL-β-methoxy-a-amino propionamide as substrate at pH=9.0, 40 ℃ and 14 h, and the optimal reaction concentration is 400 mmol/L. The results also show that divalent metal cations exhibit different effects on the PepB activity, for example, Zn2+ and Cu2+ can obviously inhibit the activity of PepB, whereas Co2+, Ca2+, Mn〉 and Mg2+ at low concentrations can activate PepB. This research provides access to enantiomerically enriched and valuable alkoxy-L-serines from a simple amino-amide racemate.展开更多
