Abstract:Our group has developed a stereospecific enzymatic method, which is very efficient for the in vitro synthesis of l-15N]serine, l-15N]methionine and l-15N]glutamic acid. These amino acids were prepared from the corresponding α -ketoacids in the suitable enzymatic systems. The bacterial NAD-dependent amino acid dehydrogenases alanin dehydrogenase, leucin dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase were used as catalysts. Glucose dehydrogenase was used for the regeneration of NADH and 15NH4Cl as isotopically labelled material at 99 at.% 15N. All reactions are inexpensive and easy to perform on a synthetically useful scale (1-10g) giving high yields of l-amino acids. The 15N isotope content was determined by mass spectrometry.
Keywords:amino acids  nitrogen-15  enzymatic synthesis  mass spectrometry  technology and isotope production
