ENZYME entry: EC 5.1.1.15

Accepted Name
2-aminohexano-6-lactam racemase
Alternative Name(s)
2-amino-hexano-6-lactam racemase
alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam racemase
Reaction catalysed
L-2-aminohexano-6-lactam <=> D-2-aminohexano-6-lactam
Comment(s)
  • Also interconverts 2-aminopentano-5-lactam (alpha-amino-delta- valerolactam) and 2-amino-4-thiahexano-6-lactam (where S replaces CH2 of C-4).
  • It does not catalyze the racemisation of alpha-amino acids but has some transaminase activity with them.
