EC 5.1.1.15 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

5.1.1.15

Accepted name

2-aminohexano-6-lactam racemase

Reaction

(S)-2-aminohexano-6-lactam = (R)-2-aminohexano-6-lactam

Other name(s)

α-amino-ε-caprolactam racemase

Systematic name

2-aminohexano-6-lactam racemase

CAS registry number

52652-64-9

Comment

Contains pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. Also racemises 2-aminopentano-5-lactam (α-amino-δ-valerolactam) and 2-amino-4-thiahexano-6-lactam (where S replaces CH₂ of C-4). It does not catalyse the racemisation of α-amino acids but has some transaminase activity with them.
