Abstract
Polyclonal antibodies were produced against the highly purified enzymes
L-hydantoinase, hydantoin-racemase and L-N-carbamoylamino acid
amidohydrolase of Arthrobacter aurescens DSM 3747. In order to exploit
these antibodies for basic research (molecular biology) or
bioengineering (process development), the serological properties had to
be characterized. Both, the hydantoinase- and carbamoylase-antibodies
were observed to be monofunctional, whereas the
hydantoin-racemase-antibody was found to be additionally specific
against the L-hydantoinase. Monospecificity was realized after affinity
chromatography. Investigations on serological crossreactions with
several linear- and cyclic amidases (e.g. hydantoinases) as well as
hydantoin-racemases are demonstrated in this paper.
