Enzymatic transformations of 3-chloroalanine into useful amino acids

The investigation of the combination of enzymatic and chemical synthetic processes for the production of useful compounds has been carried out. This review focuses on the enzymatic transformation of chemically synthesized 3-chloroalanine into useful amino acids.

beta-Chloro-L-alanine inhibition of the Escherichia coli alanine-valine transaminase

beta-Chloro-L-alanine, an amino acid analog which inhibits a number of enzymes, reversibly inhibited the Escherichia coli K-12 alanine-valine transaminase, transaminase C. This inhibition, along with the inhibition of transaminase B, accounted for the isoleucine-plus-valine requirement of E. coli in the presence of beta-chloro-L-alanine.
