6-α-Methylpenicillin N was synthesised via known routes from 6-aminopenicillanic acid, and tested as a substrate for recombinant DAOCS and DAOC/DACS. Incubation with DAOCS resulted in conversion of 2-oxoglutarate without oxidation of the penicillin substrate ('uncoupled turnover'). Incubation with DAOC/DACS resulted in oxidation to the cephem aldehyde. This is the first example of substrate-induced 'uncoupled turnover', which has been proposed to be an editing mechanism for these enzymes. Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
