Abstract

According to the increasing importance of enzyme catalysed peptide synthesis the capability of the protease dipeptidyl peptidase IV is shown to form the peptide bond. To our best knowledge, it's the first time that has been used successfully proline as one of the amino acids. The formation of the peptide bond is kinetically controlled. Free amino acids have been used as nucleophiles. The reaction media contain 50 vol.-% glycerol. A first approach to a kinetic treatment is shown.
