α-Amino-e-caprolactam racemase, which occurs in the cytoplasmic fraction of Achromobacter obae, has been purified to homogeneity. It has a monomeric structure with a molecular weight of approximately 50,000. The absorption spectrum of the enzyme exhibits maxima at 280 and 412 nm at pH 7.3, and is independent of pH from 6.0 to 8.0. One mole of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate is bound per mol of the enzyme. Incubation of the enzyme with hydroxylamine resulted in the formation of the apoenzyme. d- and l-α-Amino-e-caprolactams are the only substrates. The maximum activity is found at pH 8.8 for both the isomers. Michaelis constants are as follows: 8 mm for d-α-amino-e-caprolactam, 6mm for l-α-amino-e-caprolactam and 2.1 × 10−7 m for pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. The enzyme is inhibited significantly by CuSO4, HgCl2, thiol reagents such as N-ethylmaleimide and p-chloromercuribenzoate, and carbonyl reagents (e.g., phenylhydrazine and hydroxylamine). α-Amino-e-caprolactam racemase catalyzes the α-proton exchange of the substra...
