Processes for producing physiologically active peptide and its N-acyl derivatives

摘要

A novel physiologically active peptide Val-X-Ala-X, in which X is 4-amino-3-hydroxy-6-methylheptanoic acid, which is prepared from R-Val-Val-X-Ala-X by the action of a microbial enzyme, N-acyl derivatives thereof which are produced by acylating said new peptide, and the processes for producing thereof and the microbial enzyme are disclosed.
