Improving selectivity and productivity of the enzymatic synthesis of ampicillin with immobilized penicillin G acylase

An experimental design was applied to improve the reaction conditions for enzymatic synthesis of ampicillin from phenylglycine methyl ester (PGME) and 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA), catalyzed by penicillin G acylase from E. coli immobilized on an agarose-glyoxyl derivative. The presence and magni...
