چکیده

In recent reports (I ) the term racemization is used inappropriately. It is stated in both reports that Lisoleucine racemizes to D-alloisoleucine. This reaction is epimerization, not racemization. Racemization of L-iSOleucine results in the formation of DLisoleucine. As stated in Eliel (2): "'racemization is the process of producing a racemic modification starting with one of the pure enantiomers." WALTER T. SMITH, JR.

Amino acids in fossil corals: racemization (epimerization) reactions and their implications for diagenetic models and geochronological studies*

Thirty-eight fossil coral samples of known age from late Pleistocene uplifted reef terraces have been analyzed for amino acid composition and for the degree of racemization of selected amino acids. Particular attention has been given to the epimerization (racemization about the cc-carbon) of isoleucine. The D/L ratios observed in many of these samples do not conform to the concept of increaqing...

Synthesis of highly epimerizable N-protected -amino aldehydes of high enantiomeric excess

The Dess–Martin periodinane was found to be a superior oxidant for the efficient, epimerization-free synthesis of optically active N-protected -amino aldehydes from the corresponding N-protected -amino alcohols. Highly racemization-prone products, including N-Fmoc phenylglycinal and N-trifluoroacetyl -amino aldehydes, were prepared in 95% yield with 1% epimerization. © 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd...

O-acyl isopeptide method: efficient synthesis of isopeptide segment and application to racemization-free segment condensation.

We report the establishment of the O-acyl isopeptide method-based racemization-free segment condensation reaction toward future chemical protein synthesis. Peptide segments containing C-terminal O-acyl Ser/Thr residues were successfully synthesized by use of a lower nucleophilic base cocktail for Fmoc removal, and then coupled to an amino group of a peptide-resin without side reactions or epime...

Purification and Properties of Inducible Hydroxyproline 2-epimerase from Pseudomonas.

In the pathway of hydrosyproline metabolism by an inducible strain of Pseudomonas (1)) an initial reaction involves the reversible epimerization of hydroxy-L-proline to allohydroxy-n-proline by racemization at carbon 2. In subsequent steps of this sequence, allohydrosy-n-proline is oxidized to Al-pyrrolinelhydroxy2carboxylate (2) and the latter compound is oxidized to ar-ketoglutarate through a...

Meteoritic Isoleucine Epimerization in the Chronology of Asteroidal Parent Body Fluids

Introduction: Meteoritic amino acid abundances and abundance ratios have been diversely applied in cosmochemistry. Abundances have gauged the duration of experimental heating of Murchison [1], and abundance ratios have exhibited differences according to meteorite classification group and the extent of asteroidal parent body aqueous and thermal alteration [25]. Enantiomeric excesses (ees), expre...
