Hydantoin racemase from Sinorhizobium meliloti was functionally expressed in Escherichia coli. The native form of the enzyme was a homotetramer with a molecular mass of 100 kDa. The optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme were 40 degrees C and 8.5, respectively. The enzyme showed a slight preference for hydantoins with short rather than long aliphatic side chains or those with aromatic rings. Substrates, which showed no detectable activity toward the enzyme, were found to exhibit competitive inhibition.
来自苜蓿中华根瘤菌的乙内酰脲消旋酶在大肠杆菌中实现了功能表达。该酶的天然形式是一种分子量为100 kDa的同四聚体。该酶的最适温度和pH分别为40℃和8.5。该酶对具有短脂肪族侧链而非长脂肪族侧链或带有芳香环的乙内酰脲表现出轻微偏好。对该酶无明显活性的底物被发现具有竞争性抑制作用。
