Preparation of alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam via lysine cyclisation

The present invention relates to a method for preparing alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam, comprising converting lysine to alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam, wherein the conversion is catalysed by a biocatalyst. Further, the invention relates to a host cell comprising at least one recombinant vector com...

More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to a method for preparing alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam, comprising converting lysine to alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam, wherein the conversion is catalysed by a biocatalyst. Further, the invention relates to a host cell comprising at least one recombinant vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a biocatalyst with lysine cyclase activity. Further a method is provided wherein alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam is used for preparing epsilon-caprolactam.
