ABSTRACT:
A lactamase enzyme having good stability, capable of hydrolysing an enatiomer of the bicyclic lactam, 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one, to give (-) lactam and (+) amino acid, has been found in a strain of Comamonas acidivorans. The enzyme has been isolated and cloned, and its structure identified.
