Suggest how you would separate the free l-amino acid from its acylated d enantiomer
Esterase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of esters. It hydrolyzes esters of L-amino acids more rapidly than esters of d-amino acids. How can this enzyme be used to separate a racemic mixture of amino acids?
The amino acid (S)-alanine has the physical characteristics listed under the structure.
a.What is the melting point of (R)-alanine?
b.How does the melting point of a racemic mixture of (R)- and (S)-alanine compare to the melting point of (S)-alanine?
c. What is the specific rotation of (R)-alanine, recorded under the same conditions as the reported rotation of (S)-alanine?
d.What is the optical rotation of a racemic mixture of (R)- and (S)-alanine?
e.Label each of the following as optically active or inactive: a solution of pure (S)alanine; an equal mixture of (R)- and (S)-alanine; a solution that contains 75% (S)- and 25% (R)-alanine.
