Hydantoinase is an industrial enzyme widely used for the synthesis of nonnatural D- or L-amino acids. Optically pure amino acids are required for production of semisynthetic antibiotics, active peptides or agrochemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, pyrethroides, and are important as feed and food additives. Major advantages of application of hydantoinase in industry are: high efficiency, stereoselectivity, easy production of substrates for enzyme and environment friendly alternative to chemical methods.
