L-Amino acid α-ligase (Lal), catalyzing the formation of α-dipeptides from unprotected l-amino acids in an ATP-dependent manner, is used in cost-effective fermentative production of dipeptides. We searched for novel Lals by in silico screening using Hidden Markov Model-based profile analysis, and identified five novel Lals that showed low similarity and different substrate specificity from known Lals.

The 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl (Troc) group attached at the Nin function of tryptophan by acylation with Troc-Cl in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogensulfate can be quantitatively removed either by cadmium dust in acetic acid or under basic conditions, e. g., hydrazine hydrate and NaOH, but is resistant to strong acidic conditions.
