penicillin acylase family protein
Penicillin amidase or penicillin acylase EC:3.5.1.11 catalyses the hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin to phenylacetic acid and 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) a key intermediate in the the synthesis of penicillins [1]. Also in the family is cephalosporin acylase Swiss:P07662 and Swiss:P29958 aculeacin A acylase which are involved in the synthesis of related peptide antibiotics. [1]. 9292993.
