In nature, amino acids are found in two forms, L and D enantiomers, except for glycine which
does not have a chiral center. The change of one form to the other will lead to a change in …

Keto acids are essential organic acids that are widely applied in pharmaceuticals,
cosmetics, food, beverages, and feed additives as well as chemical synthesis. Currently …

The nonprotein amino acid pipecolic acid (Pip) regulates plant systemic acquired resistance
and basal immunity to bacterial pathogen infection. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) …

The synthesis of substituted d‐phenylalanines in high yield and excellent optical purity,
starting from inexpensive cinnamic acids, has been achieved with a novel one‐pot approach …

To mitigate the climate change caused by CO 2 emission, the global incentive to the low-
carbon alternatives as replacement of fossil fuel-derived products continuously expands the …

The combination of chemo-and biocatalysts to perform one-pot synthetic route has
presented great challenges for decades. Herein, glutamate oxidase (GLOX) and …

Enantiomerically pure amino acids are of increasing interest for the fine chemical,
agrochemicals and pharmaceutical industries. During past years l-amino acids have been …

Biocatalysis can be defined as the use of isolated enzymes or enzymes inside cells to
convert substrates into products. The term “biocatalysis” is often used in modern organic …

Abstract Alpha-keto (α-keto) acids are used widely in feeds, food additives, pharmaceuticals,
and in chemical synthesis processes. Although most α-keto acids are currently produced by …

Iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are attractive materials for enzyme immobilization and,
thanks to their superparamagnetism, can be accessed by remote stimuli. This can be …
