ENZYMATIC ESTERIFICATION AND TRANSESTERIFICATION OF N-PROTECTED GLU OR ASP AND SYNTHESIS OF SWEETENER ASPARTAME ANALOGS BY A NEW GLUTAMIC-ACID SPECIFIC ENDOPEPTIDASE
V. Rollandfulcrand et al., ENZYMATIC ESTERIFICATION AND TRANSESTERIFICATION OF N-PROTECTED GLU OR ASP AND SYNTHESIS OF SWEETENER ASPARTAME ANALOGS BY A NEW GLUTAMIC-ACID SPECIFIC ENDOPEPTIDASE, Catalysis letters, 27(1-2), 1994, pp. 235-240
Esterification and transesterification reactions are carried out in wa
ter miscible organic solvents by using a new glutamic acid specific en
dopeptidase, isolated from Bacillus licheniformis. Sweetener aspartam
analogues syntheses are also described.
