Description

(R)-(-)-3-Amino-3-phenylpropionic acid is a hydrogenated, stereoselective β-amino acid that is involved in the biosynthesis of animal health. The enzyme acylase catalyzes this reaction by binding with chiral pyridoxal phosphate to form an acylation product. The stereospecificity of the reaction is determined by whether the enzyme has a preference for L or D amino acids. Acylases are found in organisms such as mammals and bacteria.
