Abstract
Under alkaline conditions, the membrane-bound DD-carboxypeptidase [EC 3.4.12.6] of S. faecalis ATCC 9790 catalyzes exchange reactions in which the X-L-R3-D-Ala moiety of peptides of the type X-L-R3-D-Ala-D-Ala is transferred to simple amino compounds such as D-alanine, glycine and glycyl-glycine. The enzyme system is unable to catalyze complex reactions that would simulate the natural transpeptidation reaction.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
