| 2-aminohexano-6-lactam racemase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| 2-amino-hexano-6-lactam racemase. |
| Alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam racemase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| L-2-aminohexano-6-lactam <=> D-2-aminohexano-6-lactam |
| Cofactor(s) |
|---|
| Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Also interconverts 2-aminopentano-5-lactam (alpha-amino-delta-
valerolactam) and 2-amino-4-thiahexano-6-lactam (where S replaces
CH(2) of C-4).
- It does not catalyze the racemisation of alpha-amino acids but has
some transaminase activity with them.
