Studies on the Enzymatic Resolution (IV). Enzymatic Resolution of DL-Methionine (2)

Abstract

The enzymatic resolution of acetyl-DL-methonine previously reported was studied further, in detail. As a result, it was found that metal ion plays and important role on the asymmetric hydrolysis of acyl-DL-methonines by the enzyme preparations of Aspergillus oryzae.
