A new enzymatic process for the enantioselective cleavage of N-benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) groups from protected amino acids and related compounds has been developed. The Cbz-deprotecting enzyme was isolated from cell extracts of Sphingomonas paucimobilis SC 16113 and purified to homogeneity. The purified protein has a molecular weight of 155,000 daltons and a subunit size of 44,000 daltons.

A new and convenient method for the preparation of pure enantiomers of α-amino acids is described.Industrial papain, catalyzes the synthesis of L-Z-amino acid ethyl esters in ethanolic medium, with good yields.These esters are obtained from DL-Z-amino acids with 100percent optical purity.Unreactive D-Z-amino acids are readily isolated from reaction medium.Physical constants of natural and xenobiotic L-Z-amino acid esters and D-Z-amino acids are described.
