HYDROLYTIC OR DEHYDRATION-CONDENSING ENZYME, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE ENZYME AND METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING AMIDE USING THE ENZYME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stable enzyme useful for synthesizing an amide by which the amide is easily mass-produced in high yield; and to provide a method for synthesizing the amide by using the enzyme.

SOLUTION: The hydrolytic or dehydration-condensing enzyme has the following physicochemical properties (1) to (3): (1) action and substrate specificity: catalyzing degradation reaction and/or synthesis reaction of capsaicin; (2) range of optimum temperature: about 55°C; (3) range of optimum pH: 6-8.
