Polynucleotide encoding a thermostable amide hydrolase and methods for producing an L-α-amino acid

摘要

The present invention relates to an amide hydrolase which is with excellent thermostability and stereoselectively hydrolyzes an α-amino acid amide; a gene encoding the enzyme protein; a novel recombinant vector containing the gene; a transformant containing the recombinant vector; and a process for producing an L-α-amino acid using the transformant.
