Abstract

The enzyme Isopenicillin N Synthase catalyses the conversion of the modified substrate δ-L-α-aminoadipoyl-L-cysteinyl-D-all to six β-lactam containing metabotites. Eight tripeptides deuterated in the allylglycine moiety have been prepared and the stereochemical course of their cyclization to the β-lactam containing metabolites has been investigated.
