AN EFFECTIVE SUBSTITUTE FOR ALPHA-AMINOADIPIC ACID IN THE ENZYMATIC-SYNTHESIS OF PENICILLINS

meta-Carboxyphenylacetylcysteinylvaline has been demonstrated to be a highly efficient substrate for the enzyme isopenicillin N synthetase with similar Michaelis constants and maximum velocity parameters to the natural substrate δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine.
