Abstract:
1. A process for the enzymatic production of a β-dipeptide composition from a preparation of a cyanophycin (CGP) or CGP-like polymer, said process comprising contacting the preparation of the CGP or CGP-like polymer with an CGPase from P. alcaligenes having a molecular weight of about 45 kDa, an optimum temperature of about 50° C. and an optimum pH range of 7 to 8.5 for enzymatic activity and having the ability to degrade CGP or CGP-like polymer into β-Asp-Arg, thereby degrading the CGP or CGP-like polymer into β-dipeptides.
